Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Egypt at 4.6 against Star Command's 4.0. Egypt also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.6). Star Command's advantage is chart position (#92 vs unranked) and ratings volume (905 vs 128). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Star Command costs $2.99 and Egypt $4.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Egypt holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Star Command has 905 ratings behind it against 128, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Star Command's written reviews are positive against 57% of Egypt's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Star Command ships an update every 10 days, Egypt every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
