Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Chernobyl Rescue at 4.4 against Nuke Simulator 2024's 3.2. Chernobyl Rescue also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 7) and ads (none vs shown). Nuke Simulator 2024's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (63% vs 40%). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Nuke Simulator 2024 sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Chernobyl Rescue asks for nothing beyond the download.
Chernobyl Rescue holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chernobyl Rescue has 96 ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of Chernobyl Rescue's written reviews are positive against 63% of Nuke Simulator 2024's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Chernobyl Rescue ships an update every 2 months, Nuke Simulator 2024 every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
