# Tuana vs Hamster Inn

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Hamster Inn at 6.7K against Tuana's 290. Hamster Inn also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and chart position (#153 vs unranked). Tuana's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 weeks) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tuana sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Hamster Inn sells 18 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Hamster Inn holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hamster Inn has 6.7K ratings behind it against 290, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 85% of Tuana's written reviews are positive against 90% of Hamster Inn's.

Tuana ships an update every 2 weeks, Hamster Inn every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
