# Galaxy Attack vs Burning Sky

The clearest difference is update cadence: Galaxy Attack at every 4 days against Burning Sky's every 2 months. Galaxy Attack also leads on ratings volume (654K vs 59) and chart position (#93 vs unranked). Burning Sky's advantage is review sentiment (69% vs 52%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Galaxy Attack sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Burning Sky sells 21 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Galaxy Attack against 4.7 for Burning Sky. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Galaxy Attack has 654K ratings behind it against 59, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 52% of Galaxy Attack's written reviews are positive against 69% of Burning Sky's.
