Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Roller Coaster at none against Idle Roller Coaster's 3. Roller Coaster also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 65%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Idle Roller Coaster's advantage is ratings volume (185K vs 240) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Idle Roller Coaster sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Roller Coaster asks for nothing beyond the download.
Idle Roller Coaster holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Idle Roller Coaster has 185K ratings behind it against 240, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Roller Coaster's written reviews are positive against 65% of Idle Roller Coaster's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Roller Coaster ships an update every 2 months, Idle Roller Coaster fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on August 23, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
