Best Saving Practices using Firebase

Hello guys!

I'm currently making a online mobile game. It's like an online Idle Clicker.

In order to save the data I will use firebase. I'm still deciding if I should use the "Realtime Database" or " Cloud Firestore". (If any of you could help me too I would appreciate).

My main question is: When should I save my data ?

Saving the data every second is crazy because I will spend millions of euros. Even saving the data every minute seems not a viable solution to me.

I have searched and I can save the game everytime the user press the Home Button to leave the app. What if the user is playing and the phone dies?

Is there any other better solution that I am not thinking of ?

Thank you very much, Gonçalo
