# Solar Express vs Space Sandbox

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Space Sandbox at 100% against Solar Express's 0%. Solar Express's advantage is rating (4.0 vs 2.8) and iOS requirement (10.2 vs 18.5). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
