Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Animal Tanghuru at 4.9 against Stack Buddies's 4.2. Stack Buddies's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (56 vs 7). On price, review sentiment, update cadence 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. Stack Buddies sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Animal Tanghuru sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Animal Tanghuru holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stack Buddies has 56 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of Stack Buddies's written reviews are positive against 80% of Animal Tanghuru's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Stack Buddies ships an update every 5 days, Animal Tanghuru every 4 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
