# Colony Attack vs Star Trek Fleet Command

Colony Attack and Star Trek Fleet Command both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 79% of Colony Attack's written reviews are positive against 28% of Star Trek Fleet Command's. Star Trek Fleet Command's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (68K vs 205). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Colony Attack sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Star Trek Fleet Command sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for Colony Attack against 4.3 for Star Trek Fleet Command. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Star Trek Fleet Command has 68K ratings behind it against 205, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 79% of Colony Attack's written reviews are positive against 28% of Star Trek Fleet Command's.
