# Tiny Tower vs GyroSphere Evolution

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Tiny Tower at 55K against GyroSphere Evolution's 1.9K. Tiny Tower also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and chart position (#59 vs unranked). GyroSphere Evolution's advantage is iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tiny Tower sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and GyroSphere Evolution sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tiny Tower holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tiny Tower has 55K ratings behind it against 1.9K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 76% of Tiny Tower's written reviews are positive against 68% of GyroSphere Evolution's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
