# Quantum Squad vs Pixel Civilization

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Pixel Civilization at 272 against Quantum Squad's 40. On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Quantum Squad sells 14 one-off in-app purchases and Pixel Civilization sells 14 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Quantum Squad against 4.7 for Pixel Civilization. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pixel Civilization has 272 ratings behind it against 40, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 60% of Quantum Squad's written reviews are positive against 59% of Pixel Civilization's.

Quantum Squad ships an update fortnightly, Pixel Civilization every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
