Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Idle Human at 4.8 against DRILL's 4.3. Idle Human also leads on ratings volume (100K vs 1.4K) and chart position (#184 vs unranked). DRILL's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
