# Dancing Borderline vs Space Waves

The clearest difference is rating: Space Waves at 4.7 against Dancing Borderline's 3.7. Space Waves also leads on ratings volume (64K vs 18) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). Dancing Borderline's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 62%) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dancing Borderline sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Space Waves sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Space Waves holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Space Waves has 64K ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Dancing Borderline's written reviews are positive against 62% of Space Waves's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Dancing Borderline ships an update monthly, Space Waves fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 4, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
