ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Idle Lumberjack 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Idle Lumberjack 2 has 77K ratings behind it against 181, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of Idle Lumberjack 2's written reviews are positive against 39% of Beaver Builder's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Idle Lumberjack 2 ships an update monthly, Beaver Builder every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
