# IGN Entertainment vs A24

The clearest difference is rating: IGN Entertainment at 4.4 against A24's 3.6. IGN Entertainment also leads on ratings volume (20K vs 198) and review sentiment (44% vs 30%). A24's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. IGN Entertainment sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and A24 sells 114 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

IGN Entertainment holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IGN Entertainment has 20K ratings behind it against 198, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 44% of IGN Entertainment's written reviews are positive against 30% of A24's.

IGN Entertainment ships an update fortnightly, A24 every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
