# Colony Attack vs AbyssFleet

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: AbyssFleet at none against Colony Attack's 7. AbyssFleet also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 months) and rating (4.8 vs 4.4). Colony Attack's advantage is review sentiment (79% vs 44%) and ratings volume (205 vs 4). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Colony Attack sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. AbyssFleet asks for nothing beyond the download.

AbyssFleet holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Colony Attack has 205 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Colony Attack's written reviews are positive against 44% of AbyssFleet's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Colony Attack ships an update every 3 months, AbyssFleet every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
