# Sticky vs Tin Toy

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tin Toy at 100% against Sticky's 62%. Tin Toy also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 16). Sticky's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (8.8K vs 1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sticky sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Tin Toy asks for nothing beyond the download.

Sticky holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sticky has 8.8K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of Sticky's written reviews are positive against 100% of Tin Toy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Sticky ships an update fortnightly, Tin Toy every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
