Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: n at 100% against Planetary Idle's 50%. n also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17). Planetary Idle's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 3.2) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Planetary Idle sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and n sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Planetary Idle holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 81 and 27 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Planetary Idle's written reviews are positive against 100% of n's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Planetary Idle ships an update weekly, n every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
