# KHL vs Быки

KHL and Быки both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Быки's written reviews are positive against 40% of KHL's. Быки also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 23) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). KHL's advantage is ratings volume (1.8K vs 3) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 5 months). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
