Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: GDevelop at 4.3 against Game Ideas's 3.6. GDevelop also leads on ratings volume (2.3K vs 5) and chart position (#38 vs unranked). Game Ideas's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 21) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and device support 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. GDevelop sells 21 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Game Ideas asks for nothing beyond the download.
GDevelop holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GDevelop has 2.3K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 50% and 49% positive.
Game Ideas ships an update fortnightly, GDevelop every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on September 14, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
