# Devil's Purge vs AWAKEN

Devil's Purge and AWAKEN both sit at 4.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Devil's Purge's written reviews are positive against 59% of AWAKEN's. Devil's Purge also leads on monetization model (free vs paid) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks). AWAKEN's advantage is ratings volume (36 vs 4) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Devil's Purge sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and AWAKEN sells 15 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.0 for Devil's Purge against 3.9 for AWAKEN. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AWAKEN has 36 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 100% of Devil's Purge's written reviews are positive against 59% of AWAKEN's.
