Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Galactic Colonization at 75% against Space Survivor's 24%. Galactic Colonization also leads on ads (none vs shown). Space Survivor's advantage is ratings volume (2.9K vs 8) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Space Survivor sells 13 one-off in-app purchases and Galactic Colonization sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Space Survivor holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Space Survivor has 2.9K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 24% of Space Survivor's written reviews are positive against 75% of Galactic Colonization's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Space Survivor ships an update every 2 weeks, Galactic Colonization every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
