如果说朋友圈是和朋友互动的地方，短视频平台是记录现实美好生活，那SPACE就是一个记录心事的秘密基地。 你可以不用顾及他人自言自语，分享你的脆弱，不成熟的思考，别人不在意的兴趣，别人没察觉的开心。 宇宙里没有搜索功能，可以放心不被发现；看不到点赞数关注数，每个人的表达都应该是私密又平等的。我们也正式成为付费入驻的社区，付费让社区保持小众，私密与无广告，也能过滤掉目的不良、骚扰等现象。 希望这里能成为你最可靠的秘密基地，也能在旅程中找到属于自己的小宇宙。 【获奖与推荐】 2019-08-16获得《小米-金米奖》 2019-11-11获得《豌豆荚设计奖》 2019-11-21获得《2019年度十佳金米奖》 2019-12-13获得《魅族应用商店-年度精选应用》 2019-12-20获得《vivo-极光奖》 2020-02-28获得《OPPO-至美奖》 2020-03-17入选《华为-开发者栏说目第一期》 曾被Appso、极客公园等知名科技媒体报道推荐 【用户评价】 “迄今为止SPACE对我来说是一个介于音乐和社交之间，但又不止于此的存在。音乐是我生活里最重要的一个部分，而社交是我现实生活里最难的一部分，所以能把这两者加到一起，对我来说真的是个绝妙的搭配。” “pyq大多发不出去你说是吧，我在这真的变开朗，自信有提升，能感觉到的好事情，陌生人总会有惊喜，直接传输自己的审美是件非常爽的事情。“ “一个参与感很强，设计感很棒的宇宙空间。我在SPAC里可以选择过自己的生活，偶尔有网上邻居来串门，偶尔去宇航员家里坐坐。在别的宇航员的宇宙空间站里是很奇妙的体验，像是变成一只缩小的潜水艇在别人的身体里遨游。” 【反馈联系】 太空探索正在进行中，我们乐于倾听宇航宇对于 SPACE的想法和反馈。你可以通过下方的的联系方式找到地面控制台。 邮箱：talktospaceteam@gmail.com 【会员订阅须知】 如果选择订阅会员，费用将从你的 iTunes 账户支付。在当前缴费期结束前 24 小时，系统会自动从你的账户扣费续期。购买之后，你可随时前往 iTunes 商店的设置界面，关闭自动续费功能。不同地区单价可能会不同。单价如有变化，恕不另行通知。订购成功的当期不允许取消当前订单。 协议条款： https://spacefm.bopulab.cn/web/vip.html 隐私政策： http://spacefm.bopulab.cn/web/privacy.html

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SPACE at 3.9 against Tape's 1.0. SPACE also leads on review sentiment (51% vs 14%) and ratings volume (45 vs 2). Tape's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. SPACE sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 3 months. Tape asks for nothing beyond the download.
SPACE holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SPACE has 45 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 51% of SPACE's written reviews are positive against 14% of Tape's.
SPACE ships an update every 3 weeks, Tape weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
