# Idle Marble Run vs Ball Machine ASMR

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ball Machine ASMR at none against Idle Marble Run's 7. Ball Machine ASMR also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Idle Marble Run's advantage is ratings volume (21 vs 4). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Idle Marble Run sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Ball Machine ASMR asks for nothing beyond the download.

Idle Marble Run holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Idle Marble Run has 21 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Idle Marble Run's written reviews are positive against 100% of Ball Machine ASMR's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
