# 3D Solar System vs Pluto Controller

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Pluto Controller at 75% against 3D Solar System's 29%. Pluto Controller also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 12) and ads (none vs shown). 3D Solar System's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (1.7K vs 8). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 3D Solar System sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Pluto Controller asks for nothing beyond the download.

3D Solar System holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 3D Solar System has 1.7K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of 3D Solar System's written reviews are positive against 75% of Pluto Controller's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

3D Solar System ships an update fortnightly, Pluto Controller every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 13, 2026 respectively.
