# Merchant vs Idle Myth

The clearest difference is rating: Idle Myth at 5.0 against Merchant's 4.4. Idle Myth also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Merchant's advantage is ratings volume (53 vs 3). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Merchant sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Idle Myth sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Idle Myth holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Merchant has 53 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 50% and 50% positive.
