Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Monsters Lab at none against Symbiote Rush's 5. Monsters Lab also leads on review sentiment (77% vs 50%) and ratings volume (30K vs 1.4K). Symbiote Rush's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Symbiote Rush sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Monsters Lab asks for nothing beyond the download.
Symbiote Rush holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Monsters Lab has 30K ratings behind it against 1.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Symbiote Rush's written reviews are positive against 77% of Monsters Lab's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Symbiote Rush ships an update every 2 weeks, Monsters Lab every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
