# AstroBlasters vs Solo Survivor

The clearest difference is rating: Solo Survivor at 4.8 against AstroBlasters's 4.2. Solo Survivor also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (507 vs 17). AstroBlasters's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Solo Survivor sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. AstroBlasters asks for nothing beyond the download.

Solo Survivor holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Solo Survivor has 507 ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of AstroBlasters's written reviews are positive against 63% of Solo Survivor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

AstroBlasters ships an update every 2 months, Solo Survivor every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
