# Raid Plaza vs CharaDUO

The clearest difference is rating: CharaDUO at 5.0 against Raid Plaza's 4.0. CharaDUO also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 10 days). Raid Plaza's advantage is ratings volume (232 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Raid Plaza sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and CharaDUO sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CharaDUO holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Raid Plaza has 232 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
