Both are free to download. Summoners War sells 14 one-off in-app purchases and Summoners War sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.2 for Summoners War against 4.3 for Summoners War.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Summoners War ships an update fortnightly, Summoners War monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
