The call

The clearest difference is price: Atlantis Invaders at Free against Sine Mora's $4.99. Atlantis Invaders also leads on rating (4.7 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (2.8K vs 21). Sine Mora's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Atlantis Invaders holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Atlantis Invaders has 2.8K ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of Sine Mora's written reviews are positive against 31% of Atlantis Invaders's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Sine Mora ships an update every 3 months, Atlantis Invaders fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
