# Wasp Simulator vs Murder Hornet!

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Wasp Simulator at none against Murder Hornet!'s 1. Wasp Simulator also leads on review sentiment (73% vs 47%) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 12.5). Murder Hornet!'s advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 53 months) and ratings volume (58K vs 492). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Murder Hornet! sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Wasp Simulator asks for nothing beyond the download.

Murder Hornet! holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Murder Hornet! has 58K ratings behind it against 492, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Wasp Simulator's written reviews are positive against 47% of Murder Hornet!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Wasp Simulator ships an update every 53 months, Murder Hornet! every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
