# Tiny World vs RoThings

The clearest difference is rating: RoThings at 5.0 against Tiny World's 4.3. RoThings also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). Tiny World's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (12 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tiny World sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and RoThings sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

RoThings holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tiny World has 12 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Tiny World ships an update every 5 weeks, RoThings fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 4, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
