# Metaphysics vs Dragon Survival

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Dragon Survival at 360 against Metaphysics's 1. Metaphysics's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Metaphysics sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Dragon Survival sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Metaphysics holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dragon Survival has 360 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
