# Ninja Tobu vs Horizon

The clearest difference is rating: Horizon at 4.6 against Ninja Tobu's 4.1. Horizon also leads on ratings volume (20K vs 261) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Ninja Tobu's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Ninja Tobu sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Horizon sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Horizon holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Horizon has 20K ratings behind it against 261, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Ninja Tobu's written reviews are positive against 60% of Horizon's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Ninja Tobu ships an update every 3 weeks, Horizon every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
