# Pilot Ace vs Cosmo Run

The clearest difference is rating: Cosmo Run at 4.6 against Pilot Ace's 4.1. Cosmo Run also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 3 months). Pilot Ace's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and ads (none vs shown). On price, ratings volume, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cosmo Run sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Pilot Ace asks for nothing beyond the download.

Cosmo Run holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 21 and 49 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Pilot Ace's written reviews are positive against 67% of Cosmo Run's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Pilot Ace ships an update every 3 months, Cosmo Run every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
