# Dune vs Score Realms

The clearest difference is price: Score Realms at Free against Dune's $10.99. Dune's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (4.7K vs 24). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Score Realms is free to download; Dune costs $10.99 up front. Dune sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Score Realms sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Dune holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dune has 4.7K ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 79% and 78% positive.

Dune ships an update every 6 days, Score Realms every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
