# Star Realms vs Seizer

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Seizer at 100% against Star Realms's 57%. Seizer also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 12) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). Star Realms's advantage is ratings volume (4.5K vs 20). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Star Realms sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Seizer asks for nothing beyond the download.
