# Insect.io 2 vs Alien Blob io

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Insect.io 2 at 100% against Alien Blob io's 45%. Insect.io 2 also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). Alien Blob io's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (2K vs 13). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Insect.io 2 sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Alien Blob io sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Alien Blob io holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Alien Blob io has 2K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Insect.io 2's written reviews are positive against 45% of Alien Blob io's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Insect.io 2 ships an update every 3 months, Alien Blob io every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
