# Mr Autofire vs Missile Command

The clearest difference is rating: Mr Autofire at 4.8 against Missile Command's 3.9. Mr Autofire also leads on ratings volume (28K vs 206) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). Missile Command's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (70% vs 58%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mr Autofire sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Missile Command sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Mr Autofire holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mr Autofire has 28K ratings behind it against 206, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of Mr Autofire's written reviews are positive against 70% of Missile Command's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Mr Autofire ships an update every 5 days, Missile Command fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and September 3, 2026 respectively.
