# Tiny Wings vs Lil Ninja

The clearest difference is rating: Tiny Wings at 4.8 against Lil Ninja's 3.7. Tiny Wings also leads on update cadence (every 4 months vs every 33 months) and ratings volume (15K vs 3). Lil Ninja's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and price ($0.99 vs $2.99). On review sentiment, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Tiny Wings costs $2.99 and Lil Ninja $0.99 up front. Tiny Wings sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Lil Ninja asks for nothing beyond the download.

Tiny Wings holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tiny Wings has 15K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 93% of Tiny Wings's written reviews are positive against 100% of Lil Ninja's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Tiny Wings ships an update every 4 months, Lil Ninja every 33 months. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
