# Monster Dash vs The Conqueror

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The Conqueror at none against Monster Dash's 19. The Conqueror also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). Monster Dash's advantage is ratings volume (2.1K vs 49) and review sentiment (62% vs 50%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Monster Dash sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. The Conqueror asks for nothing beyond the download.

The Conqueror holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Monster Dash has 2.1K ratings behind it against 49, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of Monster Dash's written reviews are positive against 50% of The Conqueror's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Monster Dash ships an update every 3 weeks, The Conqueror every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
