# Dark Matter 3D vs Symbiote Rush

The clearest difference is rating: Symbiote Rush at 4.8 against Dark Matter 3D's 3.5. Symbiote Rush also leads on ratings volume (1.4K vs 60). Dark Matter 3D's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Symbiote Rush sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Dark Matter 3D asks for nothing beyond the download.

Symbiote Rush holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Symbiote Rush has 1.4K ratings behind it against 60, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Dark Matter 3D's written reviews are positive against 50% of Symbiote Rush's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Dark Matter 3D ships an update every 5 days, Symbiote Rush every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
