# Ancient Battle vs Honor Dice

The clearest difference is ads: Honor Dice at none against Ancient Battle's shown. Honor Dice also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Ancient Battle's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (15K vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Ancient Battle sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Honor Dice sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Honor Dice holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ancient Battle has 15K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Ancient Battle ships an update every 2 weeks, Honor Dice every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
