Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Idle Axe Thrower sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and The Space Clicker sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
The Space Clicker holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Space Clicker has 949 ratings behind it against 111, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of Idle Axe Thrower's written reviews are positive against 38% of The Space Clicker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Idle Axe Thrower ships an update monthly, The Space Clicker every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
