Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Cosmostation at 3.6 against Plug's 3.3. Cosmostation also leads on ratings volume (223 vs 36). Plug's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Cosmostation holds the better App Store score, 3.6 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cosmostation has 223 ratings behind it against 36, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 35% of Cosmostation's written reviews are positive against 41% of Plug's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Cosmostation ships an update every 3 weeks, Plug every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
