# Skate Space vs Skate Up

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Skate Up at none against Skate Space's 13. Skate Up also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). Skate Space's advantage is chart position (#179 vs unranked) and review sentiment (74% vs 62%). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Skate Space sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Skate Up asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Skate Space against 4.6 for Skate Up. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Skate Space has 29K ratings behind it against 5K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 74% of Skate Space's written reviews are positive against 62% of Skate Up's.

Skate Space ships an update fortnightly, Skate Up every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
