# Warlands vs Conquest

The clearest difference is rating: Conquest at 5.0 against Warlands's 4.1. Conquest also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 67%). Warlands's advantage is ratings volume (197 vs 3) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 26.2). 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 Conquest sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Conquest holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1.
