# Wild Spider vs Insect Evolution

The clearest difference is rating: Insect Evolution at 4.6 against Wild Spider's 3.6. Insect Evolution also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 9 months) and ratings volume (640 vs 17). Wild Spider's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 25%) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Insect Evolution sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Wild Spider asks for nothing beyond the download.

Insect Evolution holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Insect Evolution has 640 ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Wild Spider's written reviews are positive against 25% of Insect Evolution's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Wild Spider ships an update every 9 months, Insect Evolution monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
