# Great Conqueror 2 vs Pocket Panzers

The clearest difference is update cadence: Pocket Panzers at every 2 weeks against Great Conqueror 2's every 2 months. Pocket Panzers also leads on review sentiment (84% vs 71%). Great Conqueror 2's advantage is ratings volume (2.2K vs 358) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Great Conqueror 2 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Pocket Panzers sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Great Conqueror 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Great Conqueror 2 has 2.2K ratings behind it against 358, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Great Conqueror 2's written reviews are positive against 84% of Pocket Panzers's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
