Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: INFINITY BULLETS at 100% against Celestial Assault's 50%. INFINITY BULLETS also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). Celestial Assault's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 3.3) and ads (none vs shown). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Celestial Assault sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and INFINITY BULLETS sells 18 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Celestial Assault holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3 and 3 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Celestial Assault's written reviews are positive against 100% of INFINITY BULLETS's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Celestial Assault ships an update every 6 weeks, INFINITY BULLETS every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
