# Real Epic Air Combat vs Space War

The clearest difference is rating: Space War at 5.0 against Real Epic Air Combat's 4.4. Space War also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 9 days). Real Epic Air Combat's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (9 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Real Epic Air Combat sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Space War sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Space War holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Real Epic Air Combat has 9 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Real Epic Air Combat ships an update every 9 days, Space War every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
