# Forgotten Tales vs Elder Heroes

The clearest difference is rating: Elder Heroes at 4.3 against Forgotten Tales's 3.7. Elder Heroes also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 63%). Forgotten Tales's advantage is ratings volume (31 vs 6) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Forgotten Tales sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Elder Heroes sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Elder Heroes holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Forgotten Tales has 31 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two.
