Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Idle Ghost at 80% against Rock Pusher's 25%. Idle Ghost also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). Rock Pusher's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (10K vs 6). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Rock Pusher sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Idle Ghost asks for nothing beyond the download.
Rock Pusher holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rock Pusher has 10K 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 25% of Rock Pusher'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, Rock Pusher every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on November 13, 2026 and November 14, 2026 respectively.
