# History Conqueror 2 vs KR 1

The clearest difference is ads: History Conqueror 2 at none against KR 1's shown. KR 1's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. History Conqueror 2 sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and KR 1 sells 34 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

KR 1 holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 16 and 70 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of History Conqueror 2's written reviews are positive against 72% of KR 1's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

History Conqueror 2 ships an update every 2 months, KR 1 every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
