# Galaxy Invaders vs Space Invaders

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Space Invaders at none against Galaxy Invaders's 27. Space Invaders also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.5 vs 4.2). Galaxy Invaders's advantage is review sentiment (47% vs 23%). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Galaxy Invaders sells 27 one-off in-app purchases. Space Invaders asks for nothing beyond the download.

Space Invaders holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Space Invaders has 1K ratings behind it against 56, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 47% of Galaxy Invaders's written reviews are positive against 23% of Space Invaders's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Galaxy Invaders ships an update every 2 weeks, Space Invaders weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
