# Astral Hunter vs Aircraft Master

The clearest difference is ads: Astral Hunter at none against Aircraft Master's shown. Astral Hunter also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 29%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Aircraft Master's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (626 vs 18). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Astral Hunter sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and Aircraft Master sells 40 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Aircraft Master holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Aircraft Master has 626 ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Astral Hunter's written reviews are positive against 29% of Aircraft Master's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Astral Hunter ships an update every 10 days, Aircraft Master every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
