# My Tiny Friends vs Remagotchi

The clearest difference is ads: Remagotchi at none against My Tiny Friends's shown. Remagotchi also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months). My Tiny Friends's advantage is review sentiment (92% vs 81%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. My Tiny Friends sells 26 one-off in-app purchases and Remagotchi sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Remagotchi holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 27 and 70 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 92% of My Tiny Friends's written reviews are positive against 81% of Remagotchi'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, Remagotchi every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
