# DomiNations vs Great Conqueror

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Great Conqueror at 78% against DomiNations's 52%. Great Conqueror also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5). DomiNations's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and chart position (#195 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DomiNations sells 13 one-off in-app purchases and Great Conqueror sells 16 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Great Conqueror holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DomiNations has 39K ratings behind it against 4.7K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 52% of DomiNations's written reviews are positive against 78% of Great Conqueror's.

DomiNations ships an update every 2 weeks, Great Conqueror every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 21, 2026.
