# Hover vs HoverBots

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Hover at 26% against HoverBots's 0%. Hover also leads on ratings volume (1.2K vs 29) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 11.0). HoverBots's advantage is rating (3.1 vs 2.9). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

HoverBots holds the better App Store score, 3.1 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hover has 1.2K ratings behind it against 29, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 26% of Hover's written reviews are positive against 0% of HoverBots's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Hover ships an update every 5 weeks, HoverBots every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and August 26, 2026 respectively.
