# Mini Army vs Inkvasion

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Mini Army at none against Inkvasion's 23. Mini Army also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). Inkvasion's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 5 months). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Inkvasion sells 23 one-off in-app purchases. Mini Army asks for nothing beyond the download.

Inkvasion holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Inkvasion has 93 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of Mini Army's written reviews are positive against 76% of Inkvasion's.

Mini Army ships an update every 5 months, Inkvasion every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
