# Dominion vs Hexcrown

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Dominion at 5K against Hexcrown's 2. Dominion also leads on chart position (#188 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

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

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Dominion against 5.0 for Hexcrown. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dominion has 5K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
