# Stack The Tower vs Epic Idle War

The clearest difference is rating: Epic Idle War at 5.0 against Stack The Tower's 1.0. Epic Idle War also leads on ratings volume (2.7K vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). Stack The Tower's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Stack The Tower sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Epic Idle War sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Epic Idle War holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Epic Idle War has 2.7K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
