# Space Bound vs Chornobyl Quest

The clearest difference is rating: Chornobyl Quest at 4.5 against Space Bound's 4.3. Chornobyl Quest also leads on ratings volume (2.7K vs 486). Space Bound's advantage is review sentiment (29% vs 16%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Space Bound sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and Chornobyl Quest sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Chornobyl Quest holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chornobyl Quest has 2.7K ratings behind it against 486, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of Space Bound's written reviews are positive against 16% of Chornobyl Quest's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Space Bound ships an update monthly, Chornobyl Quest every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
