# Galaga Wars vs Galaxy Attack

The clearest difference is rating: Galaxy Attack at 4.7 against Galaga Wars's 4.0. Galaga Wars's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Galaga Wars sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Galaxy Attack sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Galaxy Attack holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2.3K and 3.4K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Galaga Wars's written reviews are positive against 53% of Galaxy Attack's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Galaga Wars ships an update monthly, Galaxy Attack every 3 months. Both last shipped on October 16, 2026.
