# Particle Simulation vs Space Particles

The clearest difference is rating: Space Particles at 5.0 against Particle Simulation's 4.5. Space Particles also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 7 months) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Particle Simulation's advantage is ratings volume (46 vs 3) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Particle Simulation sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Space Particles sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Space Particles holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Particle Simulation has 46 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Particle Simulation ships an update every 7 months, Space Particles every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
