# Sky Force vs Wing Fighter

Sky Force and Wing Fighter both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 89% of Sky Force's written reviews are positive against 76% of Wing Fighter's. Wing Fighter's advantage is chart position (#78 vs unranked) and ratings volume (15K vs 2.1K). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sky Force sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Wing Fighter sells 22 one-off in-app purchases. 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 Wing Fighter. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wing Fighter has 15K 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 76% of Wing Fighter's.

Sky Force ships an update every 2 months, Wing Fighter monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
