# Tiny Wings vs Sisyphos

The clearest difference is price: Sisyphos at Free against Tiny Wings's $2.99. Sisyphos also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14). Tiny Wings's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (15K vs 371). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Sisyphos is free to download; Tiny Wings costs $2.99 up front. Tiny Wings sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Sisyphos sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tiny Wings holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tiny Wings has 15K ratings behind it against 371, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 93% of Tiny Wings's written reviews are positive against 82% of Sisyphos's.

Tiny Wings ships an update every 4 months, Sisyphos every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
