Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Crafting Idle Clicker at 3.8K against Archmage Idle's 85. Archmage Idle's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks) and chart position (#120 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads 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
Both are free to download. Crafting Idle Clicker sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Archmage Idle sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Crafting Idle Clicker holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Crafting Idle Clicker has 3.8K ratings behind it against 85, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Crafting Idle Clicker's written reviews are positive against 79% of Archmage Idle's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Crafting Idle Clicker ships an update every 2 weeks, Archmage Idle every 3 days. Both last shipped on November 11, 2026.
