# Tiny Wings vs Tiny Bird

The clearest difference is price: Tiny Bird at Free against Tiny Wings's $2.99. Tiny Bird also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 14). Tiny Wings's advantage is ratings volume (15K vs 4) and review sentiment (88% vs 67%). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

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

Tiny Bird holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tiny Wings has 15K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Tiny Wings's written reviews are positive against 67% of Tiny Bird'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, Tiny Bird every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and August 13, 2026 respectively.
