# LaunchX vs Spacian

The clearest difference is rating: Spacian at 5.0 against LaunchX's 4.2. Spacian also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). LaunchX's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.6). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LaunchX sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Spacian sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Spacian holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LaunchX has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

LaunchX ships an update every 3 weeks, Spacian every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on August 31, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
