# Galactic Merge Idle vs Master Drifter

The clearest difference is rating: Master Drifter at 5.0 against Galactic Merge Idle's 4.3. Galactic Merge Idle's advantage is ratings volume (1.8K vs 1) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Galactic Merge Idle sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Master Drifter sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Master Drifter holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Galactic Merge Idle has 1.8K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
