Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Hovercraft at none against MouseBot's shown. Hovercraft also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.3) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume 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

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Hovercraft sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and MouseBot sells 13 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Hovercraft holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3.3K and 1.1K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Hovercraft's written reviews are positive against 85% of MouseBot's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Hovercraft ships an update every 2 months, MouseBot every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
