Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Idle Pact at 4.7 against Omega Protocol's 4.0. Idle Pact also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks) and ratings volume (53 vs 8). Omega Protocol's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Idle Pact sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Omega Protocol asks for nothing beyond the download.
Idle Pact holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Idle Pact has 53 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Omega Protocol's written reviews are positive against 81% of Idle Pact's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Omega Protocol ships an update every 2 weeks, Idle Pact every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
