Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Stretch Robot at 4.7 against Squid Simulator's 3.8. Stretch Robot also leads on ratings volume (124 vs 13). Squid Simulator's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Stretch Robot holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stretch Robot has 124 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Squid Simulator's written reviews are positive against 57% of Stretch Robot's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Squid Simulator ships an update every 2 months, Stretch Robot every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on July 7, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
