# Backyard Pilot vs Rogue Robot Simulator Extreme

The clearest difference is rating: Rogue Robot Simulator Extreme at 4.5 against Backyard Pilot's 3.9. Rogue Robot Simulator Extreme also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 11 months) and ratings volume (19K vs 645). Backyard Pilot's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (77% vs 44%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Backyard Pilot sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Rogue Robot Simulator Extreme sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Rogue Robot Simulator Extreme holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rogue Robot Simulator Extreme has 19K ratings behind it against 645, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of Backyard Pilot's written reviews are positive against 44% of Rogue Robot Simulator Extreme's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Backyard Pilot ships an update every 11 months, Rogue Robot Simulator Extreme every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
