# Facemakr vs Tumbletail

The clearest difference is rating: Tumbletail at 4.6 against Facemakr's 3.7. Tumbletail also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (216 vs 35). Facemakr's advantage is review sentiment (70% vs 62%) and iOS requirement (14.5 vs 17.6). On update cadence, ads, monetization model and chart position there is nothing between them.

Facemakr costs $2.99 and Tumbletail $1.99 up front. Facemakr sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Tumbletail asks for nothing beyond the download.

Tumbletail holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tumbletail has 216 ratings behind it against 35, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Facemakr's written reviews are positive against 62% of Tumbletail's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Facemakr ships an update every 3 months, Tumbletail every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 17, 2026.
