# RAID vs Idle Clans

RAID and Idle Clans both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 89% of Idle Clans's written reviews are positive against 44% of RAID's. Idle Clans also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). RAID's advantage is ratings volume (528K vs 592) and chart position (#26 vs unranked). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RAID sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Idle Clans sells 16 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for RAID against 4.7 for Idle Clans. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RAID has 528K ratings behind it against 592, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 44% of RAID's written reviews are positive against 89% of Idle Clans's.

RAID ships an update fortnightly, Idle Clans every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
