# Game Ideas vs GDevelop

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 (#33 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.

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.
