Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Down The Hole! sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Spider Guy sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Down The Hole! holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Down The Hole! has 22K ratings behind it against 492, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of Down The Hole!'s written reviews are positive against 64% of Spider Guy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Down The Hole! ships an update every 6 weeks, Spider Guy monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
