# Bloons TD Battles vs Cookie Clickers

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.

Both are free to download. Bloons TD Battles sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Cookie Clickers sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

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.

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