Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Bow Smash at 4.7 against Spider Evolution's 2.7. Bow Smash also leads on ratings volume (1.5K vs 62) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.0). Spider Evolution's advantage is chart position (#118 vs unranked) and review sentiment (27% vs 16%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
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. Bow Smash sells 20 one-off in-app purchases and Spider Evolution sells 17 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Bow Smash holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bow Smash has 1.5K ratings behind it against 62, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 16% of Bow Smash's written reviews are positive against 27% of Spider Evolution's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
