Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Robots On is free to download; Spacecom costs $3.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Spacecom holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spacecom has 23 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of Spacecom's written reviews are positive against 100% of Robots On's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Spacecom ships an update every 6 months, Robots On every 31 months. The most recent releases landed on November 13, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
