Both are free to download. Blue Attack! sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. TapSquadron asks for nothing beyond the download.
Blue Attack! holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Blue Attack! has 10 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 89% of Blue Attack!'s written reviews are positive against 100% of TapSquadron's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
