# OGame vs Starborne Frontiers

The clearest difference is rating: Starborne Frontiers at 4.7 against OGame's 2.6. Starborne Frontiers also leads on review sentiment (56% vs 30%) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 53). OGame's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. OGame sells 41 one-off in-app purchases and Starborne Frontiers sells 48 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Starborne Frontiers holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Starborne Frontiers has 1.3K ratings behind it against 53, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 30% of OGame's written reviews are positive against 56% of Starborne Frontiers's.

OGame ships an update every 2 weeks, Starborne Frontiers every 11 days. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
