# Meteorites vs TreasureHunter3D

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Meteorites at 77% against TreasureHunter3D's 22%. Meteorites also leads on ratings volume (28 vs 1). TreasureHunter3D's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (9.1 vs 11.2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

TreasureHunter3D holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Meteorites has 28 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of Meteorites's written reviews are positive against 22% of TreasureHunter3D's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Meteorites ships an update every 6 months, TreasureHunter3D every 11 months. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
