The call

The clearest difference is rating: Bloons TD Battles at 4.8 against Cookie Clickers's 4.1. Bloons TD Battles also leads on ratings volume (369K vs 5.1K). Cookie Clickers's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Bloons TD Battles holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bloons TD Battles has 369K ratings behind it against 5.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Bloons TD Battles's written reviews are positive against 69% of Cookie Clickers's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Bloons TD Battles ships an update every 2 months, Cookie Clickers every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
