# Hole City vs Mob Era

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Hole City at none against Mob Era's 10. Hole City also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Mob Era's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (3.3K vs 10). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mob Era sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Hole City asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Hole City against 4.6 for Mob Era. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mob Era has 3.3K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Hole City ships an update every 3 months, Mob Era fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
