# Idle Drops vs Infinity Balls

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Infinity Balls at none against Idle Drops's 10. Infinity Balls also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 16.0). Idle Drops's advantage is ratings volume (813 vs 19) and update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly). On price, rating, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Idle Drops sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Infinity Balls asks for nothing beyond the download.

Infinity Balls holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Idle Drops has 813 ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of Idle Drops's written reviews are positive against 55% of Infinity Balls's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Idle Drops ships an update every 9 days, Infinity Balls monthly. Both last shipped on November 2, 2026.
