# Missileer vs Booster Up!

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Missileer at 72% against Booster Up!'s 19%. Booster Up!'s advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Missileer sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Booster Up! sells 14 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Booster Up! holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Booster Up! has 17K ratings behind it against 59, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Missileer's written reviews are positive against 19% of Booster Up!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Missileer ships an update every 6 weeks, Booster Up! weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
