# Spider King vs Spider Guy

The clearest difference is rating: Spider King at 4.6 against Spider Guy's 4.2. Spider King also leads on ratings volume (29K vs 492) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Spider Guy's advantage is review sentiment (64% vs 51%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Spider King sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Spider Guy sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Spider King holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spider King has 29K ratings behind it against 492, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of Spider King's written reviews are positive against 64% of Spider Guy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Spider King ships an update every 3 weeks, Spider Guy monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
