# UniWar vs Hex Commander

The clearest difference is update cadence: UniWar at monthly against Hex Commander's every 3 months. UniWar also leads on ratings volume (1.1K vs 101) and iOS requirement (13.0.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. UniWar sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $5.49 per month and Hex Commander sells 26 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
