# POWDER vs Dungeon Abyss

The clearest difference is rating: Dungeon Abyss at 4.7 against POWDER's 4.2. Dungeon Abyss also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 7 months). POWDER's advantage is ratings volume (121 vs 20) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. POWDER sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Dungeon Abyss asks for nothing beyond the download.
