Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Space Simulator at 2.7 against Solo Space Ship Simulator's 1.0. Space Simulator also leads on ratings volume (86 vs 3). Solo Space Ship Simulator's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 26) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 9 days). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Space Simulator holds the better App Store score, 2.7 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Space Simulator has 86 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 15% of Space Simulator's written reviews are positive against 25% of Solo Space Ship Simulator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Space Simulator ships an update every 9 days, Solo Space Ship Simulator every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on September 15, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
