# Industries vs Timber Tycoon

The clearest difference is rating: Timber Tycoon at 4.5 against Industries's 3.2. Timber Tycoon also leads on ratings volume (101 vs 13). Industries's advantage is review sentiment (62% vs 29%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Industries sells 14 one-off in-app purchases and Timber Tycoon sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Timber Tycoon holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Timber Tycoon has 101 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of Industries's written reviews are positive against 29% of Timber Tycoon'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 monthly. The most recent releases landed on August 20, 2026 and August 27, 2026 respectively.
