# Space LLC vs Starborne Frontiers

The clearest difference is rating: Starborne Frontiers at 4.7 against Space LLC's 4.3. Starborne Frontiers also leads on ratings volume (1.3K vs 27). Space LLC's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 56%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Space LLC sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Starborne Frontiers sells 48 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Starborne Frontiers holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Starborne Frontiers has 1.3K ratings behind it against 27, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Space LLC's written reviews are positive against 56% of Starborne Frontiers's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Space LLC ships an update every 2 weeks, Starborne Frontiers every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on September 12, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
