Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Hide Ball at 4.8 against Spider Guy's 4.2. Hide Ball also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ratings volume (13K vs 521). Spider Guy's advantage is review sentiment (64% vs 40%) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Spider Guy sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Hide Ball asks for nothing beyond the download.
Hide Ball holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hide Ball has 13K ratings behind it against 521, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Spider Guy's written reviews are positive against 40% of Hide Ball's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Spider Guy ships an update monthly, Hide Ball every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
