# AR Invaders Attack vs PANIC

The clearest difference is rating: PANIC at 4.9 against AR Invaders Attack's 4.3. PANIC also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (364 vs 29). AR Invaders Attack's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 84%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AR Invaders Attack sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and PANIC sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PANIC holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PANIC has 364 ratings behind it against 29, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of AR Invaders Attack's written reviews are positive against 84% of PANIC's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

AR Invaders Attack ships an update every 3 weeks, PANIC every 2 days. Both last shipped on October 14, 2026.
