# DraftBattle vs EraBall

DraftBattle and EraBall both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 86% of EraBall's written reviews are positive against 44% of DraftBattle's. EraBall also leads on monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). DraftBattle's advantage is ratings volume (461 vs 26) and chart position (#106 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DraftBattle sells 18 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and EraBall sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for DraftBattle against 4.7 for EraBall. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DraftBattle has 461 ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 44% of DraftBattle's written reviews are positive against 86% of EraBall's.
