# Galactic Colonies vs Glory Frontline

The clearest difference is rating: Galactic Colonies at 4.5 against Glory Frontline's 3.9. Galactic Colonies also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (297 vs 47). Glory Frontline's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.6). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Galactic Colonies sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and Glory Frontline sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
