# President vs Conquer Countries

Conquer Countries also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and review sentiment (31% vs 7%). President's advantage is chart position (#101 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. President sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Conquer Countries sells 15 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
