# Royal Revolt 2 vs Digfender

The clearest difference is ads: Royal Revolt 2 at none against Digfender's shown. Royal Revolt 2 also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (9.8K vs 1K). Digfender's advantage is review sentiment (91% vs 64%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Royal Revolt 2 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Digfender sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Royal Revolt 2 against 4.7 for Digfender. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Royal Revolt 2 has 9.8K ratings behind it against 1K, so its average is the more settled of the two.
