# Star Empire vs World Conqueror 4

The clearest difference is rating: World Conqueror 4 at 4.7 against Star Empire's 3.7. World Conqueror 4 also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 23 months) and ratings volume (21K vs 3). Star Empire's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (5.1.1 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Star Empire sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and World Conqueror 4 sells 58 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

World Conqueror 4 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: World Conqueror 4 has 21K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
