Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Soul Gate at every 2 days against War Dragons's every 2 months. Soul Gate also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). War Dragons's advantage is ratings volume (28K vs 437) and review sentiment (63% vs 44%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. War Dragons sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Soul Gate sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Soul Gate holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: War Dragons has 28K ratings behind it against 437, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of War Dragons's written reviews are positive against 44% of Soul Gate's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

War Dragons ships an update every 2 months, Soul Gate every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
