Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Hana's Story at 4.4 against TinyVale's 3.8. TinyVale's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 months). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
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. Hana's Story sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and TinyVale sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Hana's Story holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 54 and 97 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Hana's Story's written reviews are positive against 65% of TinyVale's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Hana's Story ships an update every 3 months, TinyVale every 4 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
