# Agar.io vs Territorial.io

The clearest difference is rating: Agar.io at 4.5 against Territorial.io's 3.6. Agar.io also leads on ratings volume (221K vs 1.9K) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 2 months). Territorial.io's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and review sentiment (52% vs 28%). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Agar.io sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Territorial.io asks for nothing beyond the download.

Agar.io holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Agar.io has 221K ratings behind it against 1.9K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 28% of Agar.io's written reviews are positive against 52% of Territorial.io's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Agar.io ships an update every 4 weeks, Territorial.io every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
