# My Tiny Friends vs Teablin Teashop

The clearest difference is update cadence: Teablin Teashop at every 9 days against My Tiny Friends's every 2 months. Teablin Teashop also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (195 vs 27). My Tiny Friends's advantage is review sentiment (92% vs 81%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. My Tiny Friends sells 26 one-off in-app purchases and Teablin Teashop sells 37 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Teablin Teashop holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Teablin Teashop has 195 ratings behind it against 27, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 92% of My Tiny Friends's written reviews are positive against 81% of Teablin Teashop's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

My Tiny Friends ships an update every 2 months, Teablin Teashop every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
