# Mantis Laser Academy vs Infra Range

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Mantis Laser Academy at 4.1K against Infra Range's 2. Mantis Laser Academy also leads on review sentiment (69% vs 50%) and device support (3 vs 1). Infra Range's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mantis Laser Academy sells 15 one-off in-app purchases and Infra Range sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Infra Range holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mantis Laser Academy has 4.1K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of Mantis Laser Academy's written reviews are positive against 50% of Infra Range's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Mantis Laser Academy ships an update every 3 weeks, Infra Range monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
