# Hidden Survivor vs Yakiniku Simulator

The clearest difference is update cadence: Yakiniku Simulator at every 9 days against Hidden Survivor's every 5 weeks. Hidden Survivor's advantage is ratings volume (43 vs 4) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hidden Survivor sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and Yakiniku Simulator sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Hidden Survivor holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hidden Survivor has 43 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Hidden Survivor ships an update every 5 weeks, Yakiniku Simulator every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
