# Alien Shooter vs Apex Drift

The clearest difference is rating: Alien Shooter at 4.7 against Apex Drift's 4.0. Alien Shooter also leads on ratings volume (44 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Apex Drift's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Alien Shooter sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Apex Drift sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Alien Shooter holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Alien Shooter has 44 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Alien Shooter ships an update every 2 months, Apex Drift fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
