# UFC vs Ludus

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ludus at none against UFC's 13. Ludus also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). UFC's advantage is chart position (#48 vs unranked) and device support (4 vs 2). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. UFC sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Ludus asks for nothing beyond the download.

UFC ships an update every 2 months, Ludus every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
