# Planet Crusher vs Idle Drift

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Planet Crusher at 47% against Idle Drift's 14%. Idle Drift's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Planet Crusher sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Idle Drift sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Idle Drift holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1.1K and 2.6K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 47% of Planet Crusher's written reviews are positive against 14% of Idle Drift's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
