Verdict
Alien Path and Space Arena both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 92% of Alien Path's written reviews are positive against 54% of Space Arena's. Alien Path also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Space Arena's advantage is ratings volume (18K vs 196). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Alien Path sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Space Arena sells 19 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 Alien Path against 4.7 for Space Arena. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Space Arena has 18K ratings behind it against 196, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 92% of Alien Path's written reviews are positive against 54% of Space Arena's.
Alien Path ships an update every 6 weeks, Space Arena monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
