# Mars Tomorrow vs Mars

The clearest difference is rating: Mars Tomorrow at 3.9 against Mars's 1.0. Mars Tomorrow also leads on ratings volume (69 vs 2) and review sentiment (31% vs 20%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mars Tomorrow sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Mars sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Mars Tomorrow holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mars Tomorrow has 69 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 31% of Mars Tomorrow's written reviews are positive against 20% of Mars's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
