# HAWK vs Galaxy Invaders

The clearest difference is ratings volume: HAWK at 9.3K against Galaxy Invaders's 57. Galaxy Invaders's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. HAWK sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and Galaxy Invaders sells 27 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

HAWK holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HAWK has 9.3K ratings behind it against 57, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 52% of HAWK's written reviews are positive against 47% of Galaxy Invaders's.

HAWK ships an update every 2 months, Galaxy Invaders every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
