# Touch vs Clicker Writer

The clearest difference is rating: Clicker Writer at 4.5 against Touch's 3.4. Touch's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Clicker Writer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Touch asks for nothing beyond the download.

Clicker Writer holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Touch has 52 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of Touch's written reviews are positive against 43% of Clicker Writer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Touch ships an update weekly, Clicker Writer every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
