# Join Clash vs Elemental Master

The clearest difference is rating: Join Clash at 4.6 against Elemental Master's 3.7. Join Clash also leads on ratings volume (397K vs 2.3K) and review sentiment (40% vs 29%). Elemental Master's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Join Clash sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and Elemental Master sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Join Clash holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Join Clash has 397K ratings behind it against 2.3K, so its average is the more settled of the two.
