# Dark Assault vs Edge Born

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Dark Assault at 100% against Edge Born's 50%. Dark Assault also leads on price (Free vs $3.99). Edge Born's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.0) and update cadence (every 4 days vs monthly). On ratings volume, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Dark Assault is free to download; Edge Born costs $3.99 up front. Dark Assault sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Edge Born sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Edge Born holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1 and 1 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Dark Assault's written reviews are positive against 50% of Edge Born's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
