# Fate War vs Palmon

The clearest difference is rating: Palmon at 4.9 against Fate War's 4.6. Palmon also leads on chart position (#47 vs unranked). Fate War's advantage is review sentiment (63% vs 52%). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fate War sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Palmon sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Palmon holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 22K and 40K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Fate War's written reviews are positive against 52% of Palmon's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Fate War ships an update every 9 days, Palmon weekly. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
