# Three Kingdoms vs 三國志KING

The clearest difference is ads: 三國志KING at none against Three Kingdoms's shown. 三國志KING also leads on ratings volume (119 vs 8). Three Kingdoms's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (38% vs 29%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Three Kingdoms sells 15 one-off in-app purchases and 三國志KING sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Three Kingdoms against 4.6 for 三國志KING. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 三國志KING has 119 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two.
