# Dominion vs Wildfrost

The clearest difference is rating: Dominion at 4.9 against Wildfrost's 4.1. Dominion also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly) and ratings volume (4.7K vs 507). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dominion sells 17 one-off in-app purchases and Wildfrost sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Dominion holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dominion has 4.7K ratings behind it against 507, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 68% of Dominion's written reviews are positive against 66% of Wildfrost's.

Dominion ships an update every 5 days, Wildfrost monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
