# Dragon Flight vs War Dragons

The clearest difference is rating: War Dragons at 4.4 against Dragon Flight's 3.6. War Dragons also leads on ratings volume (28K vs 84) and chart position (#98 vs unranked). Dragon Flight's advantage is review sentiment (87% vs 63%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dragon Flight sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and War Dragons sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

War Dragons holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: War Dragons has 28K ratings behind it against 84, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of Dragon Flight's written reviews are positive against 63% of War Dragons's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Dragon Flight ships an update every 3 months, War Dragons every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
