# Disasteroids vs Space Mission

The clearest difference is update cadence: Space Mission at every 6 months against Disasteroids's every 52 months. Space Mission also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.6). Disasteroids's advantage is ratings volume (30 vs 3). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Disasteroids sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Space Mission sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Space Mission holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Disasteroids has 30 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

Disasteroids ships an update every 52 months, Space Mission every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
