# Go Fish! vs Tiny Fishing

The clearest difference is rating: Go Fish! at 4.5 against Tiny Fishing's 3.1. Go Fish! also leads on ratings volume (455K vs 1.1K) and chart position (#174 vs unranked). Tiny Fishing's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and review sentiment (35% vs 22%). On price, update cadence, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Go Fish! sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Tiny Fishing asks for nothing beyond the download.

Go Fish! holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Go Fish! has 455K ratings behind it against 1.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of Go Fish!'s written reviews are positive against 35% of Tiny Fishing's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
