# Revolution Idle vs Byte

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Byte at none against Revolution Idle's 14. Byte also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 89%). Revolution Idle's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (19K vs 1). On price, rating and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Revolution Idle sells 14 one-off in-app purchases. Byte asks for nothing beyond the download.

Byte holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8.
