# Vector vs Space Menace

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Space Menace at 64% against Vector's 40%. Space Menace also leads on update cadence (every 11 days vs every 6 weeks) and chart position (#137 vs unranked). Vector's advantage is rating (4.2 vs 4.0). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Vector costs $0.99 and Space Menace $0.59 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Vector holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 10 and 9 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of Vector's written reviews are positive against 64% of Space Menace's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Vector ships an update every 6 weeks, Space Menace every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
