Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Dragon Widget Game at none against War Dragons's 10. Dragon Widget Game also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). War Dragons's advantage is chart position (#98 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 14.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. War Dragons sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Dragon Widget Game asks for nothing beyond the download.
Dragon Widget Game holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 28K and 47K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of War Dragons's written reviews are positive against 61% of Dragon Widget Game's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
War Dragons ships an update every 2 months, Dragon Widget Game fortnightly. Both last shipped on September 28, 2026.
