# Idle Chest vs Balancer

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Balancer at none against Idle Chest's 5. Balancer also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Idle Chest's advantage is ratings volume (109 vs 2). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Idle Chest sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Balancer asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Idle Chest against 4.5 for Balancer. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Idle Chest has 109 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
