Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Alien at 80% against Asphalt Xtreme's 54%. Asphalt Xtreme's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (13K vs 1.3K). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Alien sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Asphalt Xtreme sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $19.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Asphalt Xtreme holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Asphalt Xtreme has 13K ratings behind it against 1.3K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Alien's written reviews are positive against 54% of Asphalt Xtreme's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
