# Parc Astérix vs The Explorers

The clearest difference is rating: The Explorers at 4.4 against Parc Astérix's 3.1. The Explorers also leads on ratings volume (86 vs 11) and device support (5 vs 1). Parc Astérix's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Explorers sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per month. Parc Astérix asks for nothing beyond the download.

The Explorers holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Explorers has 86 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of Parc Astérix's written reviews are positive against 55% of The Explorers's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Parc Astérix ships an update fortnightly, The Explorers every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and June 9, 2026 respectively.
