# Stellaris vs OGame

The clearest difference is rating: Stellaris at 4.0 against OGame's 2.6. Stellaris also leads on ratings volume (1.6K vs 53). OGame's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Stellaris sells 12 one-off in-app purchases and OGame sells 41 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Stellaris holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stellaris has 1.6K ratings behind it against 53, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 31% of Stellaris's written reviews are positive against 30% of OGame's.

Stellaris ships an update every 2 months, OGame every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 15, 2026.
