# Base Builder 3D vs Space Survivor

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Base Builder 3D at 57% against Space Survivor's 24%. Base Builder 3D also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). Space Survivor's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (2.9K vs 55). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Base Builder 3D sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Space Survivor sells 13 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Space Survivor holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Space Survivor has 2.9K ratings behind it against 55, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Base Builder 3D's written reviews are positive against 24% of Space Survivor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Base Builder 3D ships an update every 10 days, Space Survivor every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
