# LOL Platform vs MasterDex

The clearest difference is rating: MasterDex at 4.8 against LOL Platform's 3.0. MasterDex also leads on ratings volume (1.8K vs 2) and review sentiment (87% vs 69%). LOL Platform's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LOL Platform sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and MasterDex sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MasterDex holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MasterDex has 1.8K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 69% of LOL Platform's written reviews are positive against 87% of MasterDex's.

LOL Platform ships an update weekly, MasterDex every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on November 7, 2026.
