Both are free to download. Idle Boxer sells 12 one-off in-app purchases and Archmage Idle sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Idle Boxer holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Idle Boxer has 491 ratings behind it against 74, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Idle Boxer's written reviews are positive against 77% of Archmage Idle's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Idle Boxer ships an update every 2 days, Archmage Idle every 3 days. Both last shipped on October 28, 2026.
