Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Three Kingdoms at 4.6 against Annulus's 2.8. Three Kingdoms also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (354 vs 23). Annulus's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Three Kingdoms sells 13 one-off in-app purchases and Annulus sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Three Kingdoms holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Three Kingdoms has 354 ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Three Kingdoms's written reviews are positive against 28% of Annulus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Three Kingdoms ships an update fortnightly, Annulus every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and September 4, 2026 respectively.
