# Spider King vs Wood Guy

Spider King and Wood Guy both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 86% of Wood Guy's written reviews are positive against 51% of Spider King's. Spider King's advantage is ratings volume (30K vs 1.8K) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Spider King sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Wood Guy sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Spider King against 4.6 for Wood Guy. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spider King has 30K ratings behind it against 1.8K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 51% of Spider King's written reviews are positive against 86% of Wood Guy's.

Spider King ships an update every 3 weeks, Wood Guy every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
