# Space War TD vs Xeno Command

The clearest difference is rating: Xeno Command at 4.5 against Space War TD's 3.8. Xeno Command also leads on ratings volume (631 vs 12). Space War TD's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (81% vs 62%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Space War TD sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and Xeno Command sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Xeno Command holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Xeno Command has 631 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Space War TD's written reviews are positive against 62% of Xeno Command's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Space War TD ships an update every 3 weeks, Xeno Command every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
