# Tower vs Goblins vs Valor Keep

The clearest difference is rating: Tower vs Goblins at 4.3 against Valor Keep's 2.6. Tower vs Goblins also leads on ratings volume (273 vs 5) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Valor Keep's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tower vs Goblins sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Valor Keep sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tower vs Goblins holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tower vs Goblins has 273 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 14% of Tower vs Goblins's written reviews are positive against 29% of Valor Keep's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Tower vs Goblins ships an update every 2 months, Valor Keep fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and August 27, 2026 respectively.
