# PFC CSKA vs KHL

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PFC CSKA at none against KHL's 23. PFC CSKA also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (56% vs 40%). KHL's advantage is ratings volume (1.9K vs 134). On price, rating, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. KHL sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. PFC CSKA asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for PFC CSKA against 4.8 for KHL. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: KHL has 1.9K ratings behind it against 134, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 56% of PFC CSKA's written reviews are positive against 40% of KHL's.

PFC CSKA ships an update every 3 weeks, KHL every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
