Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Grass Eater at none against Idle Maggots's 10. Grass Eater also leads on review sentiment (44% vs 34%). Idle Maggots's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Idle Maggots sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Grass Eater asks for nothing beyond the download.
Idle Maggots holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Idle Maggots has 6.2K ratings behind it against 52, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 34% of Idle Maggots's written reviews are positive against 44% of Grass Eater's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Idle Maggots ships an update every 5 days, Grass Eater every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
