# Block Escape Master vs Dark Road

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Dark Road at none against Block Escape Master's 10. Dark Road also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Block Escape Master's advantage is ratings volume (828 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Block Escape Master sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Dark Road asks for nothing beyond the download.
