# Christmas Cookie vs Easter Sweeper

The clearest difference is ads: Easter Sweeper at none against Christmas Cookie's shown. Easter Sweeper also leads on iOS requirement (13.3 vs 15.0). Christmas Cookie's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Christmas Cookie sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and Easter Sweeper sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Christmas Cookie holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 976 and 2.8K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Christmas Cookie's written reviews are positive against 76% of Easter Sweeper's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Christmas Cookie ships an update every 2 months, Easter Sweeper every 3 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
