# Backgammon Deluxe Go vs Backgammon Plus

The clearest difference is rating: Backgammon Plus at 4.6 against Backgammon Deluxe Go's 3.5. Backgammon Plus also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (4.7K vs 284). Backgammon Deluxe Go's advantage is review sentiment (46% vs 18%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Backgammon Deluxe Go sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Backgammon Plus sells 25 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Backgammon Plus holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Backgammon Plus has 4.7K ratings behind it against 284, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of Backgammon Deluxe Go's written reviews are positive against 18% of Backgammon Plus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Backgammon Deluxe Go ships an update every 3 months, Backgammon Plus every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 5, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
