# Timber Squad vs Space Squad Survival

The clearest difference is rating: Space Squad Survival at 4.7 against Timber Squad's 3.0. Space Squad Survival also leads on ratings volume (1.1K vs 2) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). Timber Squad's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 85%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Timber Squad sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Space Squad Survival sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Space Squad Survival holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Space Squad Survival has 1.1K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Timber Squad's written reviews are positive against 85% of Space Squad Survival's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Timber Squad ships an update every 3 weeks, Space Squad Survival every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
