Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Shark Attack at Free against Ultimate Shark Simulator's $0.99. Shark Attack also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (10K vs 972). Ultimate Shark Simulator's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On device support 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
Shark Attack is free to download; Ultimate Shark Simulator costs $0.99 up front. Shark Attack sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Ultimate Shark Simulator asks for nothing beyond the download.
Shark Attack holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Shark Attack has 10K ratings behind it against 972, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Ultimate Shark Simulator's written reviews are positive against 60% of Shark Attack's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Ultimate Shark Simulator ships an update every 3 days, Shark Attack monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
