# Hang_Man vs Bee Duels

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Bee Duels at none against Hang_Man's 1. Bee Duels also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.5). Hang_Man's advantage is ratings volume (13K vs 1) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hang_Man sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $19.99 per year. Bee Duels asks for nothing beyond the download.

Bee Duels holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5.
