# Mouse Simulator vs Squirrel Simulator 2

The clearest difference is ads: Mouse Simulator at none against Squirrel Simulator 2's shown. Mouse Simulator also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 13.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mouse Simulator sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Squirrel Simulator 2 sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Mouse Simulator holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1.2K and 509 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of Mouse Simulator's written reviews are positive against 76% of Squirrel Simulator 2's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
