# Not Not 2 vs Tiny Machinery

The clearest difference is ads: Tiny Machinery at none against Not Not 2's shown. Not Not 2's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.2) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Not Not 2 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Tiny Machinery sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Not Not 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 81 and 48 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of Not Not 2's written reviews are positive against 54% of Tiny Machinery's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Not Not 2 ships an update every 2 weeks, Tiny Machinery every 3 months. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
