# Tiny Space Program vs Juno

The clearest difference is rating: Tiny Space Program at 4.5 against Juno's 3.8. Tiny Space Program also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 62%) and ratings volume (1.6K vs 309). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tiny Space Program sells 14 one-off in-app purchases and Juno sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tiny Space Program holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tiny Space Program has 1.6K ratings behind it against 309, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 80% of Tiny Space Program's written reviews are positive against 62% of Juno's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
