# UniWar vs Forge & Fleet

The clearest difference is ads: Forge & Fleet at none against UniWar's shown. Forge & Fleet also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). UniWar's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 8) and iOS requirement (13.0.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. UniWar sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $5.49 per month and Forge & Fleet sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Forge & Fleet holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: UniWar has 1.1K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 72% of UniWar's written reviews are positive against 100% of Forge & Fleet's.

UniWar ships an update monthly, Forge & Fleet every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
