# Gear Clicker vs Crazy Gears Box

Gear Clicker and Crazy Gears Box both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 78% of Crazy Gears Box's written reviews are positive against 20% of Gear Clicker's. Crazy Gears Box also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Gear Clicker's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (32K vs 83).

Both are free to download. Gear Clicker sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Crazy Gears Box sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for Gear Clicker against 4.4 for Crazy Gears Box. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gear Clicker has 32K ratings behind it against 83, so its average is the more settled of the two.
