# Exoplanet vs Reentry AR

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Exoplanet at 91% against Reentry AR's 33%. Exoplanet also leads on ratings volume (956 vs 1). Reentry AR's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Exoplanet sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Reentry AR asks for nothing beyond the download.

Reentry AR holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Exoplanet has 956 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of Exoplanet's written reviews are positive against 33% of Reentry AR's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Exoplanet ships an update every 2 weeks, Reentry AR every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 2, 2026 respectively.
