Idle Ghost Hotel holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Idle Ghost Hotel has 1.8K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Idle Ghost's written reviews are positive against 73% of Idle Ghost Hotel's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Idle Ghost ships an update every 2 days, Idle Ghost Hotel fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
