Both are free to download. TV Empire sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Bar Master! sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
TV Empire holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TV Empire has 299 ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of TV Empire's written reviews are positive against 56% of Bar Master!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
TV Empire ships an update weekly, Bar Master! every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and June 5, 2026 respectively.
