# Alien SpaceCraft vs Insanity!

The clearest difference is price: Insanity! at Free against Alien SpaceCraft's $0.69. Insanity! also leads on rating (4.6 vs 2.0) and update cadence (monthly vs every 37 months). Alien SpaceCraft's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and review sentiment (100% vs 87%). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Insanity! is free to download; Alien SpaceCraft costs $0.69 up front. Insanity! sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Alien SpaceCraft asks for nothing beyond the download.

Insanity! holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Insanity! has 605 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Alien SpaceCraft's written reviews are positive against 87% of Insanity!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Alien SpaceCraft ships an update every 37 months, Insanity! monthly. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
