# Idle Mage Academy vs Infinite Loot

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Idle Mage Academy at 100% against Infinite Loot's 49%. Idle Mage Academy also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10). Infinite Loot's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.0) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Infinite Loot sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Idle Mage Academy asks for nothing beyond the download.

Infinite Loot holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Infinite Loot has 25 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Idle Mage Academy's written reviews are positive against 49% of Infinite Loot's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Idle Mage Academy ships an update every 2 months, Infinite Loot every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
