# HellManager vs Sol Defense Command

The clearest difference is update cadence: Sol Defense Command at daily against HellManager's every 3 weeks. Sol Defense Command also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). HellManager's advantage is ratings volume (7.1K vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
