# IdleArc vs Idle Guild

The clearest difference is ads: IdleArc at none against Idle Guild's shown. IdleArc also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and review sentiment (88% vs 78%). Idle Guild's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 3 days). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. IdleArc sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Idle Guild sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

IdleArc holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IdleArc has 136 ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 88% of IdleArc's written reviews are positive against 78% of Idle Guild's.

IdleArc ships an update every 3 days, Idle Guild daily. Both last shipped on November 5, 2026.
