# X3 Force vs Rubber Bands

The clearest difference is rating: Rubber Bands at 4.7 against X3 Force's 4.1. Rubber Bands also leads on ratings volume (127 vs 20). X3 Force's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. X3 Force sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month and Rubber Bands sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Rubber Bands holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rubber Bands has 127 ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of X3 Force's written reviews are positive against 67% of Rubber Bands's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

X3 Force ships an update fortnightly, Rubber Bands every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
