An AI ship full of frozen colonists must find the best planet to be the new home of the human race. A randomly-generated text-based strategy game. Push your luck: do you settle here, on this not-quite-ideal planet, or keep searching and risk your ship being damaged in the journey? The planets you encounter are randomly generated, and as you travel you encounter random events, so each playthrough is different. See the stories of the colonies you found, and keep trying for a higher score.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Seedship at 4.7 against Moonbase's 4.0. Seedship also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 5) and ratings volume (701 vs 4). Moonbase's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks) and review sentiment (100% vs 90%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Moonbase sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Seedship asks for nothing beyond the download.
Seedship holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Seedship has 701 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of Seedship's written reviews are positive against 100% of Moonbase's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Seedship ships an update every 3 weeks, Moonbase every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
