Both are free to download. Captains Idle sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Byte Hunter asks for nothing beyond the download.
Byte Hunter holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Captains Idle has 31 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of Captains Idle's written reviews are positive against 0% of Byte Hunter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
