# Blindfold Breakout vs Galactic Colonies

The clearest difference is rating: Galactic Colonies at 4.4 against Blindfold Breakout's 3.0. Galactic Colonies also leads on ratings volume (303 vs 3) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months). Blindfold Breakout's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 18.6). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Blindfold Breakout sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Galactic Colonies sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
