# Mount and Magic vs Battle Alchemist

The clearest difference is rating: Battle Alchemist at 4.7 against Mount and Magic's 3.0. Battle Alchemist also leads on ratings volume (68 vs 10). Mount and Magic's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly) and review sentiment (18% vs 8%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mount and Magic sells 15 one-off in-app purchases and Battle Alchemist sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Battle Alchemist holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Battle Alchemist has 68 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 18% of Mount and Magic's written reviews are positive against 8% of Battle Alchemist's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Mount and Magic ships an update every 3 days, Battle Alchemist fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
