# Stellar Tour vs EclipseGo

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: EclipseGo at none against Stellar Tour's 6. EclipseGo also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 26.0). Stellar Tour's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.7K vs 1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Stellar Tour sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. EclipseGo asks for nothing beyond the download.

EclipseGo holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stellar Tour has 1.7K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Stellar Tour ships an update fortnightly, EclipseGo monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
