Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: TET⁢ at none against Tiny Cafe's shown. TET⁢ also leads on review sentiment (83% vs 70%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Tiny Cafe's advantage is ratings volume (4K vs 87). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TET⁢ sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Tiny Cafe sells 36 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for TET⁢ against 4.8 for Tiny Cafe. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tiny Cafe has 4K ratings behind it against 87, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 83% of TET⁢'s written reviews are positive against 70% of Tiny Cafe's.
