# Mimizaur vs Ticko

The clearest difference is rating: Ticko at 5.0 against Mimizaur's 4.6. Ticko also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 78%) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 5 weeks). Mimizaur's advantage is ratings volume (874 vs 4) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mimizaur sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Ticko sells 14 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
