# Endless Castle vs Hex Warriors

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Hex Warriors at 4.5K against Endless Castle's 42. Endless Castle's advantage is review sentiment (30% vs 8%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Endless Castle sells 54 one-off in-app purchases and Hex Warriors sells 24 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 3.8 for Endless Castle against 3.7 for Hex Warriors. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hex Warriors has 4.5K ratings behind it against 42, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 30% of Endless Castle's written reviews are positive against 8% of Hex Warriors's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
