Paper Toss + is an arcade mobile endless game, set in an office. The player's objective is to flick a piece of paper into a bin. To make the game more challenging, there is a fan running in the space, thus the wind direction and speed are displayed, as they need to be accounted for when flicking the piece of paper. Players are scored on how many times they manage to toss the paper into the bin before missing. There are online leaderboards and different levels with varying distances away from the bin.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: TightWire at none against Paper Toss +'s shown. TightWire also leads on rating (3.6 vs 3.3) and iOS requirement (6.1 vs 13.0). Paper Toss +'s advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 6 months) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TightWire sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Paper Toss + sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
TightWire holds the better App Store score, 3.6 against 3.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 29 and 37 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of TightWire's written reviews are positive against 56% of Paper Toss +'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
TightWire ships an update every 6 months, Paper Toss + every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
