# Peppy Pals vs The Lighthouse

Peppy Pals and The Lighthouse both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of The Lighthouse's written reviews are positive against 67% of Peppy Pals's. Peppy Pals's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (460 vs 27). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Peppy Pals sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per month and The Lighthouse sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for Peppy Pals against 4.4 for The Lighthouse. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Peppy Pals has 460 ratings behind it against 27, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 67% of Peppy Pals's written reviews are positive against 100% of The Lighthouse's.

Peppy Pals ships an update every 3 weeks, The Lighthouse every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
