Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Mimelet sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Ducklings! asks for nothing beyond the download.
Ducklings! holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ducklings! has 4K ratings behind it against 94, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of Ducklings!'s written reviews are positive against 79% of Mimelet's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Ducklings! ships an update every 4 months, Mimelet every 10 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
