# Howrse vs Wolf Simulator

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Wolf Simulator at none against Howrse's 23. Wolf Simulator also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months) and rating (4.4 vs 4.1). Howrse's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (3.5K vs 9). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Howrse sells 22 one-off in-app purchases. Wolf Simulator asks for nothing beyond the download.

Wolf Simulator holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Howrse has 3.5K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Howrse ships an update every 4 months, Wolf Simulator every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
