Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Galaxy Attack at 4.7 against Missile Command's 3.9. Galaxy Attack also leads on ratings volume (654K vs 206) and update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). Missile Command's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (70% vs 52%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model 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
Both are free to download. Galaxy Attack sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Missile Command sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Galaxy Attack holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Galaxy Attack has 654K ratings behind it against 206, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of Galaxy Attack's written reviews are positive against 70% of Missile Command's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Galaxy Attack ships an update every 3 days, Missile Command fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and September 3, 2026 respectively.
