# Space Launch Now vs T

The clearest difference is ads: T at none against Space Launch Now's shown. T also leads on review sentiment (72% vs 58%). Space Launch Now's advantage is ratings volume (32K vs 885). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Space Launch Now sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and T sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Space Launch Now against 4.7 for T. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Space Launch Now has 32K ratings behind it against 885, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 58% of Space Launch Now's written reviews are positive against 72% of T's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
