# Alien Garden vs Scrap Clicker 2

The clearest difference is rating: Scrap Clicker 2 at 4.8 against Alien Garden's 3.3. Scrap Clicker 2 also leads on ratings volume (855 vs 4). Alien Garden's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Alien Garden sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Scrap Clicker 2 sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Scrap Clicker 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scrap Clicker 2 has 855 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Alien Garden's written reviews are positive against 90% of Scrap Clicker 2's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Alien Garden ships an update monthly, Scrap Clicker 2 every 3 months. Both last shipped on November 2, 2026.
