# Bar Master! vs Bottle Up Idle

The clearest difference is rating: Bottle Up Idle at 3.8 against Bar Master!'s 2.4. Bottle Up Idle also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks). Bar Master!'s advantage is ratings volume (20 vs 4). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bar Master! sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Bottle Up Idle asks for nothing beyond the download.

Bottle Up Idle holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bar Master! has 20 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Bar Master!'s written reviews are positive against 50% of Bottle Up Idle's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Bar Master! ships an update every 3 weeks, Bottle Up Idle every 3 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
