# Squadron 2 vs Space Shooter Alien Galaxy War

The clearest difference is ads: Squadron 2 at none against Space Shooter Alien Galaxy War's shown. Squadron 2 also leads on ratings volume (22 vs 4) and iOS requirement (9.1 vs 13.0). Space Shooter Alien Galaxy War's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Squadron 2 sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Space Shooter Alien Galaxy War sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Squadron 2 against 4.8 for Space Shooter Alien Galaxy War. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Squadron 2 has 22 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.
