Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Bugsnax at 1.8K against Galaxy Run's 64. Bugsnax also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 67%). Galaxy Run's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 13.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Galaxy Run sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Bugsnax sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for Galaxy Run against 4.5 for Bugsnax. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bugsnax has 1.8K ratings behind it against 64, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 67% of Galaxy Run's written reviews are positive against 80% of Bugsnax's.
Galaxy Run ships an update fortnightly, Bugsnax every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
