Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Earth's Core at Free against Future Earth's $1.99. Earth's Core also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 60%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). Future Earth's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 70 months) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Earth's Core is free to download; Future Earth costs $1.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Future Earth holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Future Earth has 49 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Future Earth's written reviews are positive against 100% of Earth's Core's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Future Earth ships an update every 2 months, Earth's Core every 70 months. The most recent releases landed on September 10, 2026 and August 31, 2026 respectively.
