ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Hacker or Dev Tycoon? Clicker holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hacker or Dev Tycoon? Clicker has 1.4K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 39% of Hacker or Dev Tycoon? Clicker's written reviews are positive against 60% of Hacking Hero's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Hacker or Dev Tycoon? Clicker ships an update every 5 weeks, Hacking Hero every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
