# Space Wars 3D vs Stellar Trek Galaxies

The clearest difference is rating: Space Wars 3D at 4.3 against Stellar Trek Galaxies's 3.5. Space Wars 3D also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 9) and ads (none vs shown). Stellar Trek Galaxies's advantage is ratings volume (107 vs 20). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Stellar Trek Galaxies 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 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stellar Trek Galaxies has 107 ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of Space Wars 3D's written reviews are positive against 53% of Stellar Trek Galaxies's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
