# War Dragons vs The Sorting Owl Quiz

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The Sorting Owl Quiz at none against War Dragons's 10. The Sorting Owl Quiz also leads on review sentiment (74% vs 63%). War Dragons's advantage is ratings volume (28K vs 1.4K) and chart position (#126 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. War Dragons sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. The Sorting Owl Quiz asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for War Dragons against 4.3 for The Sorting Owl Quiz. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: War Dragons has 28K ratings behind it against 1.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two.
