# Bloons TD 5 vs Conquest

The clearest difference is price: Conquest at Free against Bloons TD 5's $2.99. Conquest also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months). Bloons TD 5's advantage is ratings volume (99K vs 3) and chart position (#7 vs unranked). On rating, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Conquest is free to download; Bloons TD 5 costs $2.99 up front. Bloons TD 5 sells 10 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 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bloons TD 5 has 99K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
