# Fort Guardian vs Loadout Warrior

The clearest difference is ads: Loadout Warrior at none against Fort Guardian's shown. Loadout Warrior also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Fort Guardian's advantage is ratings volume (5.9K vs 966). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fort Guardian sells 28 one-off in-app purchases and Loadout Warrior sells 41 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Loadout Warrior holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fort Guardian has 5.9K ratings behind it against 966, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 24% of Fort Guardian's written reviews are positive against 32% of Loadout Warrior's.
