# Pocket Panzers vs Imperial Eagle

The clearest difference is ads: Imperial Eagle at none against Pocket Panzers's shown. Imperial Eagle also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 86%). Pocket Panzers's advantage is ratings volume (350 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pocket Panzers sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and Imperial Eagle sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Imperial Eagle holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7.
