# The Invaders vs Galaxy Attack

The clearest difference is review sentiment: The Invaders at 89% against Galaxy Attack's 53%. The Invaders also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). Galaxy Attack's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Invaders sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Galaxy Attack sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Galaxy Attack holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1.6K and 3.4K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 89% of The Invaders's written reviews are positive against 53% of Galaxy Attack's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
