# Space Wars 3D vs Stellar Patrol Space Combat

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Space Wars 3D at none against Stellar Patrol Space Combat's 9. Space Wars 3D also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.3 vs 4.0). Stellar Patrol Space Combat's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 45%). On price, ratings volume, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Stellar Patrol Space Combat sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Space Wars 3D asks for nothing beyond the download.

Space Wars 3D holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 20 and 11 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of Space Wars 3D's written reviews are positive against 67% of Stellar Patrol Space Combat's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
