# Dragon Mania Legends vs Heroes Evolved

The clearest difference is update cadence: Dragon Mania Legends at fortnightly against Heroes Evolved's every 2 months. Dragon Mania Legends also leads on ratings volume (173K vs 6.2K) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). Heroes Evolved's advantage is iOS requirement (12.5 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dragon Mania Legends sells 13 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.

Dragon Mania Legends holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dragon Mania Legends has 173K ratings behind it against 6.2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Dragon Mania Legends's written reviews are positive against 74% of Heroes Evolved's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Dragon Mania Legends ships an update fortnightly, Heroes Evolved every 2 months. Both last shipped on September 26, 2026.
