# Mouse Quest vs Idle Axe Thrower

The clearest difference is rating: Idle Axe Thrower at 4.4 against Mouse Quest's 3.9. Idle Axe Thrower also leads on ratings volume (111 vs 11). Mouse Quest's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mouse Quest sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and Idle Axe Thrower sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Idle Axe Thrower holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Idle Axe Thrower has 111 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Mouse Quest's written reviews are positive against 52% of Idle Axe Thrower's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Mouse Quest ships an update every 9 days, Idle Axe Thrower monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
