Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Tiny Machinery at none against Puppet Duel's shown. Tiny Machinery also leads on review sentiment (54% vs 20%). Puppet Duel's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.2) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Puppet Duel 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.
Puppet Duel holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 126 and 48 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of Puppet Duel'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.
Puppet Duel ships an update monthly, Tiny Machinery every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
