ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Townopolis holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sapan has 42 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Sapan's written reviews are positive against 71% of Townopolis's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Sapan ships an update every 3 weeks, Townopolis every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
