# Gold Panning! vs Button Push!

The clearest difference is rating: Button Push! at 4.7 against Gold Panning!'s 4.1. Button Push! also leads on ratings volume (4.2K vs 179). Gold Panning!'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Button Push! sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Gold Panning! asks for nothing beyond the download.

Button Push! holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Button Push! has 4.2K ratings behind it against 179, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of Gold Panning!'s written reviews are positive against 20% of Button Push!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Gold Panning! ships an update fortnightly, Button Push! weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
