# Go Particles vs Particle Simulation

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Go Particles at 77% against Particle Simulation's 25%. Go Particles also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 7 months) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). Particle Simulation's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Go Particles sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Particle Simulation sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Go Particles holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Go Particles has 2.1K ratings behind it against 46, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 77% of Go Particles's written reviews are positive against 25% of Particle Simulation's.

Go Particles ships an update every 5 weeks, Particle Simulation every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
