Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Deep Space at none against Sky Bandit's 10. Deep Space also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). Sky Bandit's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 23 months) and ratings volume (634 vs 2). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Deep Space holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sky Bandit has 634 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Deep Space's written reviews are positive against 61% of Sky Bandit's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Deep Space ships an update every 23 months, Sky Bandit every 9 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
