# Sky Force vs Galaxy Attack

Sky Force and Galaxy Attack both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 89% of Sky Force's written reviews are positive against 52% of Galaxy Attack's. Galaxy Attack's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (654K vs 2.1K). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sky Force sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Galaxy Attack sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Sky Force against 4.7 for Galaxy Attack. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Galaxy Attack has 654K ratings behind it against 2.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 89% of Sky Force's written reviews are positive against 52% of Galaxy Attack's.

Sky Force ships an update every 2 months, Galaxy Attack every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
