Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Underdark at 4.8 against Stellar!'s 2.2. Underdark also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (4.1K vs 5). Stellar!'s advantage is review sentiment (83% vs 72%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Stellar! sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Underdark sells 34 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Underdark holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Underdark has 4.1K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Stellar!'s written reviews are positive against 72% of Underdark's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Stellar! ships an update every 2 months, Underdark every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 4, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
