Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Spider Fighter 2 at 4.6 against Hook Race!'s 3.7. Spider Fighter 2 also leads on ratings volume (57K vs 6) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). Hook Race!'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and review sentiment (100% vs 75%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Spider Fighter 2 sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Hook Race! asks for nothing beyond the download.
Spider Fighter 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spider Fighter 2 has 57K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Hook Race!'s written reviews are positive against 75% of Spider Fighter 2's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Hook Race! ships an update every 2 months, Spider Fighter 2 fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
