# 火星 vs Hobby

The clearest difference is rating: Hobby at 4.0 against 火星's 3.5. Hobby also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (75% vs 56%). 火星's advantage is ratings volume (91 vs 12) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 火星 sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Hobby sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Hobby holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 火星 has 91 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 56% of 火星's written reviews are positive against 75% of Hobby's.

火星 ships an update every 9 days, Hobby every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
