# War Dragons vs Soul Gate

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.

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.

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