# Space Shuttle AR vs Space

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Space Shuttle AR at none against Space's 5. Space Shuttle AR also leads on review sentiment (78% vs 50%) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 38). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Space sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Space Shuttle AR asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Space Shuttle AR against 4.8 for Space. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Space Shuttle AR has 1.1K ratings behind it against 38, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 78% of Space Shuttle AR's written reviews are positive against 50% of Space's.
