# 极略三国 vs E杀

The clearest difference is rating: E杀 at 4.0 against 极略三国's 2.9. E杀 also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 极略三国 sells 14 one-off in-app purchases and E杀 sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

E杀 holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 76 and 74 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of 极略三国's written reviews are positive against 73% of E杀's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

极略三国 ships an update fortnightly, E杀 every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
