# d’Arkham vs Summoner Wars Online

The clearest difference is rating: Summoner Wars Online at 4.7 against d’Arkham's 4.0. Summoner Wars Online also leads on ratings volume (112 vs 1). d’Arkham's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 33) and review sentiment (100% vs 78%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Summoner Wars Online sells 33 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. d’Arkham asks for nothing beyond the download.

Summoner Wars Online holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Summoner Wars Online has 112 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of d’Arkham's written reviews are positive against 78% of Summoner Wars Online's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
