# My Tiny Friends vs Yruru

The clearest difference is rating: Yruru at 5.0 against My Tiny Friends's 4.5. Yruru also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months). My Tiny Friends's advantage is ratings volume (27 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. My Tiny Friends sells 26 one-off in-app purchases and Yruru sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Yruru holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My Tiny Friends has 27 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
