# Colony Attack vs Celestial Fleet

The clearest difference is ads: Colony Attack at none against Celestial Fleet's shown. Colony Attack also leads on review sentiment (79% vs 60%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). Celestial Fleet's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, rating, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

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

Celestial Fleet holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 205 and 119 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Colony Attack's written reviews are positive against 60% of Celestial Fleet'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, Celestial Fleet every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 2, 2026.
