# CraftedBattle vs Happy Wheels

The clearest difference is price: Happy Wheels at Free against CraftedBattle's $0.99. Happy Wheels also leads on ratings volume (41K vs 143) and chart position (#14 vs unranked). CraftedBattle's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On rating and device support there is nothing between them.

Happy Wheels is free to download; CraftedBattle costs $0.99 up front. Happy Wheels sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. CraftedBattle asks for nothing beyond the download.

Happy Wheels holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Happy Wheels has 41K ratings behind it against 143, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of CraftedBattle's written reviews are positive against 61% of Happy Wheels's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

CraftedBattle ships an update every 3 weeks, Happy Wheels every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
