# Cat Shooter vs Space Attack

The clearest difference is rating: Space Attack at 5.0 against Cat Shooter's 4.5. Cat Shooter's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (109 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cat Shooter sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Space Attack sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Space Attack holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cat Shooter has 109 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Cat Shooter ships an update every 5 days, Space Attack every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
