# Idle Car ! vs PC Tycoon 2

The clearest difference is review sentiment: PC Tycoon 2 at 71% against Idle Car !'s 41%. Idle Car !'s advantage is ratings volume (14K vs 180) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Idle Car ! sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and PC Tycoon 2 sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Idle Car ! holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Idle Car ! has 14K ratings behind it against 180, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of Idle Car !'s written reviews are positive against 71% of PC Tycoon 2's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Idle Car ! ships an update fortnightly, PC Tycoon 2 every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
