# Khan Wars vs Fate War

The clearest difference is rating: Fate War at 4.6 against Khan Wars's 1.8. Fate War also leads on review sentiment (63% vs 29%) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 34 months). Khan Wars's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Khan Wars sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Fate War sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Fate War holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fate War has 22K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 29% of Khan Wars's written reviews are positive against 63% of Fate War's.

Khan Wars ships an update every 34 months, Fate War every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
