# Bronze Age vs Final Outpost

The clearest difference is update cadence: Final Outpost at fortnightly against Bronze Age's every 11 months. Bronze Age's advantage is price ($1.99 vs $4.99) and ratings volume (212 vs 40). On rating, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Bronze Age costs $1.99 and Final Outpost $4.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Bronze Age holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bronze Age has 212 ratings behind it against 40, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Bronze Age's written reviews are positive against 75% of Final Outpost's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Bronze Age ships an update every 11 months, Final Outpost fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
