# Castle Clash vs Heroes Evolved

Heroes Evolved's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and review sentiment (74% vs 56%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Castle Clash sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Heroes Evolved sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
