# Khan Wars vs MA 3

The clearest difference is rating: MA 3 at 4.3 against Khan Wars's 1.8. MA 3 also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 34 months) and ratings volume (652 vs 5). Khan Wars's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.8). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Khan Wars sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and MA 3 sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MA 3 holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MA 3 has 652 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 52% of MA 3's.

Khan Wars ships an update every 34 months, MA 3 every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
