Both are free to download. Balls Clicker sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Idle Press sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Idle Press holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1K and 3K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 47% of Balls Clicker's written reviews are positive against 32% of Idle Press's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Balls Clicker ships an update every 2 months, Idle Press monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
