# Starfield 3D vs Hand Control

The clearest difference is rating: Hand Control at 4.5 against Starfield 3D's 2.8. Hand Control also leads on ratings volume (769 vs 5) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). Starfield 3D's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Starfield 3D sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Hand Control sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Hand Control holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hand Control has 769 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.
