# Tiny Dragons vs Dragons Evolution

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Dragons Evolution at 3.5K against Tiny Dragons's 104. Dragons Evolution also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months). Tiny Dragons's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 84%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 14.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tiny Dragons sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Dragons Evolution sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Tiny Dragons against 4.7 for Dragons Evolution. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dragons Evolution has 3.5K ratings behind it against 104, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 100% of Tiny Dragons's written reviews are positive against 84% of Dragons Evolution's.

Tiny Dragons ships an update every 4 months, Dragons Evolution monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
