# DC vs Mecha Fire

The clearest difference is ads: DC at none against Mecha Fire's shown. DC also leads on chart position (#42 vs #195). Mecha Fire's advantage is review sentiment (41% vs 32%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DC sells 14 one-off in-app purchases and Mecha Fire sells 14 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
