# Idle Superpowers vs Idle Chest

The clearest difference is rating: Idle Superpowers at 4.8 against Idle Chest's 4.5. Idle Superpowers also leads on ratings volume (836 vs 109). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Idle Superpowers sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Idle Chest sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Idle Superpowers holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Idle Superpowers has 836 ratings behind it against 109, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Idle Superpowers's written reviews are positive against 81% of Idle Chest's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Idle Superpowers ships an update fortnightly, Idle Chest every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
