# 3D Solar System vs Solar System by Clementoni

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Solar System by Clementoni at 100% against 3D Solar System's 29%. Solar System by Clementoni also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). 3D Solar System's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 3.6) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 24 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 3D Solar System sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Solar System by Clementoni sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

3D Solar System holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 3D Solar System has 1.7K ratings behind it against 5, 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 100% of Solar System by Clementoni'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, Solar System by Clementoni every 24 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
