# Three Kingdoms Conqueror vs Empire

The clearest difference is rating: Empire at 4.2 against Three Kingdoms Conqueror's 3.7. Empire also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 months) and review sentiment (71% vs 51%). Three Kingdoms Conqueror's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Three Kingdoms Conqueror sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Empire sells 24 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Empire holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Three Kingdoms Conqueror has 132 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two.
