# Wonder for Dash vs Tynker Junior

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Wonder for Dash at none against Tynker Junior's 6. Wonder for Dash also leads on review sentiment (67% vs 59%). Tynker Junior's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (4.2K vs 476). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tynker Junior sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Wonder for Dash asks for nothing beyond the download.

Tynker Junior holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tynker Junior has 4.2K ratings behind it against 476, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Wonder for Dash's written reviews are positive against 59% of Tynker Junior's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Wonder for Dash ships an update every 3 months, Tynker Junior every 2 months. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
