# DrillKing vs Space LLC

The clearest difference is rating: Space LLC at 4.3 against DrillKing's 2.5. Space LLC also leads on review sentiment (67% vs 40%) and ratings volume (27 vs 2). DrillKing's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DrillKing sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Space LLC sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Space LLC holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Space LLC has 27 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 40% of DrillKing's written reviews are positive against 67% of Space LLC's.

DrillKing ships an update weekly, Space LLC every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
