Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Kingdom Maker at none against Linko's shown. Kingdom Maker also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (11K vs 2). Linko's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Kingdom Maker sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Linko sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings
