# Space Survivor vs Krafteers

Space Survivor and Krafteers both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 80% of Krafteers's written reviews are positive against 24% of Space Survivor's. Krafteers also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks) and chart position (#143 vs unranked). Space Survivor's advantage is price (Free vs $0.99) and ratings volume (2.9K vs 5). On rating, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Space Survivor is free to download; Krafteers costs $0.99 up front. Space Survivor sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Krafteers sells 4 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 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Space Survivor has 2.9K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 24% of Space Survivor's written reviews are positive against 80% of Krafteers'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, Krafteers every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
