# Slug vs Worm Out

The clearest difference is update cadence: Slug at every 2 weeks against Worm Out's every 2 months. Slug also leads on ratings volume (31K vs 5.9K) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Worm Out's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Slug sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Worm Out sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Worm Out holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Slug has 31K ratings behind it against 5.9K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of Slug's written reviews are positive against 47% of Worm Out's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Slug ships an update every 2 weeks, Worm Out every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
