# Valkyrie Idle vs MONGIL

The clearest difference is ads: MONGIL at none against Valkyrie Idle's shown. MONGIL also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (4K vs 177). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Valkyrie Idle sells 35 one-off in-app purchases and MONGIL sells 21 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MONGIL holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MONGIL has 4K ratings behind it against 177, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 61% of Valkyrie Idle's written reviews are positive against 67% of MONGIL's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
