# Nova vs Conqueror's Dynasty

The clearest difference is rating: Nova at 4.7 against Conqueror's Dynasty's 2.9. Nova also leads on ratings volume (4K vs 7) and review sentiment (58% vs 43%). Conqueror's Dynasty's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Nova sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Conqueror's Dynasty sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Nova holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nova has 4K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 58% of Nova's written reviews are positive against 43% of Conqueror's Dynasty's.

Nova ships an update every 3 weeks, Conqueror's Dynasty every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
