# MadWorld vs War Elite

War Elite also leads on ratings volume (887 vs 32) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). MadWorld's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months).

Both are free to download. MadWorld sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and War Elite sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
