Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Action at Free against Midnight Drift's $0.99. Action also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 50 months) and review sentiment (93% vs 75%). Midnight Drift's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 3.7) and ads (none vs shown). On ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Action is free to download; Midnight Drift costs $0.99 up front. Midnight Drift sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Action sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Midnight Drift holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 4 and 9 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Midnight Drift's written reviews are positive against 93% of Action's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Midnight Drift ships an update every 50 months, Action fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 5, 2026 respectively.
