# Thyng vs ARtoon

The clearest difference is rating: ARtoon at 5.0 against Thyng's 3.2. Thyng's advantage is ratings volume (141 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.3 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Thyng sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and ARtoon sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ARtoon holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Thyng has 141 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
