# Tiny Clash! vs Magic War

The clearest difference is rating: Tiny Clash! at 4.4 against Magic War's 3.8. Tiny Clash! also leads on ratings volume (5.8K vs 357) and review sentiment (20% vs 11%). Magic War's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tiny Clash! sells 17 one-off in-app purchases and Magic War sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tiny Clash! holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tiny Clash! has 5.8K ratings behind it against 357, so its average is the more settled of the two.
