# Dragon King vs Genesis

The clearest difference is rating: Genesis at 5.0 against Dragon King's 3.4. Dragon King's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (25 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dragon King sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Genesis sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Genesis holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dragon King has 25 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Dragon King ships an update every 5 days, Genesis every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
