# Galaxy Run vs Asphalt Xtreme

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Asphalt Xtreme at 13K against Galaxy Run's 68. Asphalt Xtreme also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4). Galaxy Run's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (67% vs 54%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Galaxy Run sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Asphalt Xtreme sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $19.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Asphalt Xtreme holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Asphalt Xtreme has 13K ratings behind it against 68, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Galaxy Run's written reviews are positive against 54% of Asphalt Xtreme's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Galaxy Run ships an update fortnightly, Asphalt Xtreme every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
