Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Star at 100% against Galaxy Defender's 0%. Star also leads on update cadence (daily vs fortnightly). Galaxy Defender's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 3.7) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 26.0). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Galaxy Defender holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2 and 3 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Galaxy Defender's written reviews are positive against 100% of Star's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Galaxy Defender ships an update fortnightly, Star daily. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
