# My Tiny Friends vs Snappies

The clearest difference is ads: Snappies at none against My Tiny Friends's shown. Snappies also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). My Tiny Friends's advantage is ratings volume (27 vs 4) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). 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 Snappies sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Snappies 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 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 92% of My Tiny Friends's written reviews are positive against 100% of Snappies's.

My Tiny Friends ships an update every 2 months, Snappies every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
