# Listen vs Star Trek Fleet Command

The clearest difference is rating: Star Trek Fleet Command at 4.3 against Listen's 3.1. Star Trek Fleet Command also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (68K vs 12). Listen's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 12) and review sentiment (44% vs 28%). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Star Trek Fleet Command sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Listen asks for nothing beyond the download.

Star Trek Fleet Command holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Star Trek Fleet Command has 68K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of Listen's written reviews are positive against 28% of Star Trek Fleet Command's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Listen ships an update every 6 weeks, Star Trek Fleet Command every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on June 4, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
