Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Idle Army at 4.6 against Puzzle Go's 3.9. Idle Army also leads on ratings volume (21K vs 20). Puzzle Go's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (37% vs 27%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Puzzle Go sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and Idle Army sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Idle Army holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Idle Army has 21K ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 37% of Puzzle Go's written reviews are positive against 27% of Idle Army's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Puzzle Go ships an update every 2 weeks, Idle Army fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
