Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Prize Claw 2 at 4.3 against Planet Arcade's 3.0. Prize Claw 2 also leads on ratings volume (910 vs 4). Planet Arcade's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (67% vs 58%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Prize Claw 2 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Planet Arcade sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Prize Claw 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Prize Claw 2 has 910 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of Prize Claw 2's written reviews are positive against 67% of Planet Arcade's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Prize Claw 2 ships an update every 2 months, Planet Arcade every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
