Mint Master
Read full descriptionHide full description
Every great fortune starts with a single penny. Mint Master is an idle clicker game where you build a coin minting empire from the ground up. Start by pressing humble Wheat Pennies, hire legendary Mint Workers to automate your operation, and watch your fortune grow to astronomical scale. HIRE YOUR MINT WORKERS Each coin tier comes with a legendary worker - from Penny Pete ("Been pressin' pennies since 1909. Never missed a shift.") to The Legendary Engraver ("I have no name. I have only the coin."). Hire them to automate production and go truly idle. PRESTIGE AND GROW STRONGER When your mint reaches legendary status, perform a Royal Mint Reset to earn Eagle Marks - permanent multipliers that make every future run faster than the last. What once took hours now takes minutes. CLIMB THE RANKINGS Claim your own minter name and watch your position climb. Two boards track how far you've come: Richest Mints ranks by total fortune, while the Marks board ranks by prestige earned. Every press moves you up the list. EXPLORE FOUR HISTORIC MINT WORLDS - The American Mint - Art Deco gold, from the Wheat Penny to the legendary 1933 Double Eagle - The Royal Mint - Medieval to Victorian Britain, from the Farthing to the Tudor Rose Crown - The Ancient Mint - Classical Mediterranean, from the Bronze Obol to the Julius Caesar Aureus - The Imperial Mint - Imperial China, from the Copper Cash to the Jade Emperor Medallion NUMBERS BEYOND IMAGINATION Watch your earnings climb from dollars to millions, billions, trillions, and far beyond. Each coin tier stacks on the last - the deeper you go, the more staggering the scale. THE IDLE GAME THAT KEEPS EARNING Close the app and come back to a vault full of earnings. Your workers never sleep. Open the game to a dramatic coin-rain animation showing exactly what your mint earned while you were away. COLLECT REAL HISTORY Every coin in Mint Master is a real coin. The 1933 Double Eagle sold at auction for $18.9 million. The Athenian Owl tetradrachm was the dollar of the ancient world. Learn the stories behind the rarest coins ever struck. FEATURES - Idle/clicker gameplay - active or passive, your choice - 40+ historically inspired coins across four worlds - Prestige system with permanent progression - Leaderboards - rank by fortune or by Eagle Marks, with a custom minter name - Offline earnings - your mint never stops - Rewarded ads - optional, never forced - No pay-to-win - everything is earnable for free From a copper penny to a legendary fortune. The mint is yours.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Bee Idle at none against Mint Master's 1. Bee Idle also leads on ads (none vs shown). Mint Master's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and update cadence there is nothing between them.
