# Idle Superpowers vs Pause Game

The clearest difference is rating: Idle Superpowers at 4.8 against Pause Game's 4.3. Idle Superpowers also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 50%) and ratings volume (835 vs 41). Pause Game's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Idle Superpowers sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and Pause Game sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
