# War.app vs Dotria

The clearest difference is ads: War.app at none against Dotria's shown. War.app also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). Dotria's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 4 weeks). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. War.app sells 34 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Dotria sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

War.app ships an update every 4 weeks, Dotria every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and September 14, 2026 respectively.
