# Tynker Junior vs Dodoo Adventure

The clearest difference is update cadence: Dodoo Adventure at every 8 days against Tynker Junior's every 2 months. Dodoo Adventure also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). Tynker Junior's advantage is ratings volume (4.2K vs 57) and rating (4.5 vs 4.3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tynker Junior sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Dodoo Adventure sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
