Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Bad Dog! at daily against Tricky Pipes's every 4 months. Bad Dog! also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 63%). Tricky Pipes's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (313 vs 6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Tricky Pipes holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tricky Pipes has 313 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Tricky Pipes's written reviews are positive against 80% of Bad Dog!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Tricky Pipes ships an update every 4 months, Bad Dog! daily. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
