# Iron Prototype vs Spider Hero

The clearest difference is rating: Spider Hero at 4.2 against Iron Prototype's 3.9. Spider Hero also leads on ratings volume (142 vs 21). Iron Prototype's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Iron Prototype sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Spider Hero sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Spider Hero holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spider Hero has 142 ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 71% of Iron Prototype's written reviews are positive against 75% of Spider Hero's.

Iron Prototype ships an update monthly, Spider Hero every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
