Press/Release is a tongue-in-cheek commentary on the simplicity of button mashing. While we have an appreciation for button mashers, the idea behind Press/Release was to remove the veil of theming and make a game that was LITERALLY about the act of pressing, and releasing, a button. THE button simulator you’ve been dreaming of!

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Overcharged at none against Press/Release's 1. Press/Release's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 2 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
