# Tiny Tower vs Safari

The clearest difference is rating: Tiny Tower at 4.7 against Safari's 3.6. Tiny Tower also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 9 months) and ratings volume (55K vs 21). Safari's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
