Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Theft Tycoon at 87% against Cyber Dude's 59%. Theft Tycoon also leads on iOS requirement (12.4 vs 15.0). Cyber Dude's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases 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. Theft Tycoon sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Cyber Dude sells 13 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Cyber Dude holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 7K and 17K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of Theft Tycoon's written reviews are positive against 59% of Cyber Dude's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Theft Tycoon ships an update every 3 months, Cyber Dude fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
