# Starship vs Galaxy Attack

The clearest difference is rating: Galaxy Attack at 5.0 against Starship's 4.5. Galaxy Attack also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 2 months). Starship's advantage is ratings volume (22 vs 3) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Starship sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and Galaxy Attack sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Galaxy Attack holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Starship has 22 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Starship ships an update every 2 months, Galaxy Attack daily. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
