# Neon Reign vs NOVA STRIKER

Both are free to download. Neon Reign sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and NOVA STRIKER sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Neon Reign ships an update every 2 weeks, NOVA STRIKER every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
