# SpaceXNow vs EclipseGo

The clearest difference is rating: EclipseGo at 5.0 against SpaceXNow's 4.5. SpaceXNow's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (374 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SpaceXNow sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and EclipseGo sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

EclipseGo holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SpaceXNow has 374 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

SpaceXNow ships an update every 6 weeks, EclipseGo every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 11, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
