UPDATE (PLEASE READ): This app will most likely now remain free :) If you want to create your own characters and/or share them via wifi, please consider upgrading to the full version which you can now do directly from the app. iFightU is a fun and silly way to see your friends fight using the 'duke it out' mode and take a screenshot to send it to your friends. You can also also play a very simple classic fighting game and a network game, but the main idea really is that you can create your own characters and see them duke it out. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did writing it, but if you don't, hey, at least it was free! Here is a video of the full version of iFightU: http://www.midnightsoft.com/if.mov ----------------------------------------------- iFightU Lite is the Standard Edition/Companion of iFightU.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Ancient Battle at 4.6 against iFightU Lite's 1.0. Ancient Battle also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (15K vs 6). iFightU Lite's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.1 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. iFightU Lite sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Ancient Battle sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Ancient Battle holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 1.0.
