Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Cat Quest III at none against Space Squad Survival's shown. Space Squad Survival's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Cat Quest III sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Space Squad Survival sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Space Squad Survival holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Space Squad Survival has 1.2K ratings behind it against 174, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 74% of Cat Quest III's written reviews are positive against 85% of Space Squad Survival's.
Cat Quest III ships an update every 5 days, Space Squad Survival every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
