# Squadron 2 vs Neon Wings

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Squadron 2 at 100% against Neon Wings's 16%. Squadron 2 also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.7 vs 4.3). Neon Wings's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (6.6K vs 22). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Squadron 2 sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Neon Wings sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Squadron 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Neon Wings has 6.6K ratings behind it against 22, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Squadron 2's written reviews are positive against 16% of Neon Wings's.

Squadron 2 ships an update every 2 months, Neon Wings every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
