# Dominion vs d’Arkham

The clearest difference is rating: Dominion at 4.9 against d’Arkham's 4.0. Dominion also leads on ratings volume (4.7K vs 1) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 10.3). d’Arkham's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 17) and review sentiment (100% vs 68%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dominion sells 17 one-off in-app purchases. d’Arkham asks for nothing beyond the download.

Dominion holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dominion has 4.7K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Dominion's written reviews are positive against 100% of d’Arkham's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
