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. Cracker Head sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Galactic Merge Idle sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Galactic Merge Idle holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Galactic Merge Idle has 1.8K ratings behind it against 83, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 12% of Cracker Head's written reviews are positive against 7% of Galactic Merge Idle's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Cracker Head ships an update every 9 days, Galactic Merge Idle every 4 days. Both last shipped on October 25, 2026.
