# Invader™ vs The Castle

The clearest difference is rating: The Castle at 5.0 against Invader™'s 3.1. The Castle also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). Invader™'s advantage is ratings volume (208 vs 3) and iOS requirement (12.4 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Invader™ sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and The Castle sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

The Castle holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Invader™ has 208 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Invader™ ships an update every 5 weeks, The Castle every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
