Verdict
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.

Both are free to download. Stretch Robot sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Squid Simulator asks for nothing beyond the download.
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.
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.
