# Warlands vs Kingdom Command

The clearest difference is rating: Warlands at 4.0 against Kingdom Command's 3.0. Warlands also leads on ratings volume (167 vs 2). Kingdom Command's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 67%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Warlands sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Kingdom Command sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Warlands holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Warlands has 167 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Warlands's written reviews are positive against 100% of Kingdom Command's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Warlands ships an update every 2 months, Kingdom Command fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
