Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Asteroids at 50% against Bold Attack's 19%. Bold Attack's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 2 months) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Asteroids sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Bold Attack sells 15 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Bold Attack holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bold Attack has 418 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Asteroids's written reviews are positive against 19% of Bold Attack's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Asteroids ships an update every 2 months, Bold Attack daily. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
