# Galaxy Wars vs Stickman Raid

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Galaxy Wars at none against Stickman Raid's 6. Galaxy Wars also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 30 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Stickman Raid sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Galaxy Wars asks for nothing beyond the download.

Stickman Raid holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Galaxy Wars has 348 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Galaxy Wars's written reviews are positive against 80% of Stickman Raid's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Galaxy Wars ships an update every 6 weeks, Stickman Raid every 30 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
