# Frontline Assault vs Idol Empire

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Frontline Assault at 88% against Idol Empire's 23%. Idol Empire's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 117). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Frontline Assault sells 29 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Idol Empire sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Idol Empire holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Idol Empire has 1.3K ratings behind it against 117, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Frontline Assault's written reviews are positive against 23% of Idol Empire's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Frontline Assault ships an update every 10 days, Idol Empire every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
