# Dama King vs Dama

The clearest difference is rating: Dama at 4.3 against Dama King's 3.3. Dama also leads on review sentiment (58% vs 29%) and ratings volume (301 vs 20). Dama King's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 12 months) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dama King sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Dama sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Dama holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dama has 301 ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 29% of Dama King's written reviews are positive against 58% of Dama's.

Dama King ships an update every 3 months, Dama every 12 months. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
