# Wood Tycoon vs Guildmaster Idle

The clearest difference is rating: Guildmaster Idle at 4.7 against Wood Tycoon's 4.1. Guildmaster Idle also leads on ratings volume (538 vs 19). Wood Tycoon's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 9) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Guildmaster Idle sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Wood Tycoon asks for nothing beyond the download.

Guildmaster Idle holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Guildmaster Idle has 538 ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Wood Tycoon's written reviews are positive against 75% of Guildmaster Idle's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
