# KR 1 vs WARDEN

The clearest difference is rating: WARDEN at 5.0 against KR 1's 4.4. WARDEN also leads on ads (none vs shown). KR 1's advantage is ratings volume (70 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. KR 1 sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and WARDEN sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

WARDEN holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: KR 1 has 70 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
