# DomiNations vs Cocbases

The clearest difference is ads: Cocbases at none against DomiNations's shown. Cocbases also leads on review sentiment (69% vs 52%). DomiNations's advantage is ratings volume (39K vs 71) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price, rating, 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 Cocbases sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for DomiNations against 4.5 for Cocbases. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DomiNations has 39K ratings behind it against 71, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 52% of DomiNations's written reviews are positive against 69% of Cocbases's.

DomiNations ships an update every 2 weeks, Cocbases every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
