Stellar Dominion is a space strategy game in the tradition of OGame, rebuilt for your phone: deep economy, real fleets, and an empire that keeps producing while you are away. BUILD YOUR EMPIRE Mines, refineries, laboratories and shipyards: shape every colony, balance ore, crystal and helium-3, manage your energy, and push storage further with the Wonder, the endgame project that turns surplus into power. EXPLORE AND LOOT Send expeditions into the unknown and choose their posture. Scan stellar anomalies to weigh the loot before you attack. Bring debris fields home with your recyclers. RESEARCH AND SPECIALISE A full tech tree, doctrines, talent trees and colony destinies such as Arsenal, Gaia or Free Zone. Two empires never look alike. COMMAND YOUR FLEET Fighters, cruisers, battleships, destroyers, Leviathans and healer ships. Simulate a battle before you commit, read the full report, then replay it round by round. PLAY TOGETHER Join an alliance, share resources, muster a joint assault on the Asteroid Belt, and face the world boss every weekend with the whole server.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Tiny Crawler at none against Stellar's shown. Stellar's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (44 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Tiny Crawler sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Stellar sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Stellar holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stellar has 44 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Tiny Crawler ships an update every 2 months, Stellar every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
