# Celestial Fleet vs Star Hunter

The clearest difference is ads: Star Hunter at none against Celestial Fleet's shown. Star Hunter also leads on ratings volume (7.4K vs 119) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). Celestial Fleet's advantage is review sentiment (60% vs 39%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Celestial Fleet sells 12 one-off in-app purchases and Star Hunter sells 22 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Celestial Fleet against 4.5 for Star Hunter. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Star Hunter has 7.4K ratings behind it against 119, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 60% of Celestial Fleet's written reviews are positive against 39% of Star Hunter's.

Celestial Fleet ships an update every 3 weeks, Star Hunter weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 5, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
