These brands share at least one legal super fund. They can still have different products, menus, fees or insurance. Check the exact account and investment pathway rather than counting them as unrelated funds.
Choose the actual investment pathway for each account. For lifecycle products, select the named stage relevant to you. No stage is selected automatically.

Source: APRA Comprehensive Product Performance Package 2026, published 28 August 2026. Fees reflect the reporting year to 30 June 2026, are net of tax, use standard arrangements and exclude member-activity fees. Dollar figures are rounded. They are not a current quote. Check the latest PDS for changes, insurance premiums and any separately charged advice.
Returns are annualised historical results. Different return bases, risk levels and periods cannot be treated as interchangeable. MySuper net returns use a $50,000 representative balance even when you change the fee balance. A lifecycle stage return does not track a person moving between stages. Missing figures mean not reported, not zero. Past returns do not predict future returns. Read our method and APRA's definitions.
| What to compare | Spaceship Super | Superhero Super |
|---|---|---|
| Membership and access | Public joining is available under the super PDS. Sources123 | Public membership under the applicable MySuper or Choice documents. Sources1234 |
| Accounts and products | Spaceship Super accumulation. Sources123 | Superhero Super Choice and MySuper. Sources1234 |
| Investment choices | Four current options are GrowthX, Global Index, Balanced and Moderate. The notice dated 5 June 2026 changes three options from 7 July 2026; Global Index is unchanged. Sources123 | Diversified, single-sector, thematic and direct options. At least 25% of a Choice balance must remain across diversified or single-sector options. Sources1234 |
| Insurance | Insurance costs depend on factors including age, cover, sex at birth and occupation rating. Sources123 | MySuper and Choice insurance terms differ. There is no insurance in the retirement division; retaining accumulation cover requires a sufficiently funded super account. Sources1234 |
| Retirement income | The reviewed product pages do not establish a dedicated pension account. Confirm the retirement-income pathway. Sources123 | Retirement and transition-to-retirement accounts are available, with a $20,000 minimum under the PDS dated 2 June 2026. Sources1234 |
| Advice and support | The app and support team provide account information. Confirm any personal advice arrangement separately. Sources123 | The service supports self-directed investment decisions. Personal advice should be arranged where needed. Sources1234 |
| Fee details to check | Use the current super fee table and the notice dated 5 June 2026, effective 7 July 2026. Voyager pricing applies to a different product. Sources123 | Choice administration is $52 a year plus a balance-based fee; investment fees vary and direct investing adds costs. MySuper has its own schedule. Sources1234 |
| Comparing investment performance | Compare the selected super option over matching dates. Voyager's performance is not Spaceship Super performance. Sources123 | The website's investment returns exclude administration fees and costs. Direct portfolios have member-specific returns. Sources1234 |

Use the membership rules to establish which accounts are available to you. Then compare the total price of the investment option and cover you need. A lower fee or higher historical return alone does not tell you which fund is suitable.
Ask both funds to confirm insurance acceptance, exclusions, waiting periods and whether cover would change when you leave your employer. Obtain advice before giving up a defined benefit or an insurance policy you may not be able to replace. ASIC Moneysmart explains the comparison checks.
