Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Infinite Growth at none against Swarm Simulator's 11. Infinite Growth also leads on review sentiment (89% vs 78%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 12.0). Swarm Simulator's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Swarm Simulator holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Swarm Simulator has 2.7K ratings behind it against 517, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 89% of Infinite Growth's written reviews are positive against 78% of Swarm Simulator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Infinite Growth ships an update every 2 months, Swarm Simulator every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
