# Duckers vs Super Penguins

The clearest difference is ads: Duckers at none against Super Penguins's shown. Duckers also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). Super Penguins's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 10 months) and ratings volume (3.9K vs 80). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Duckers sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Super Penguins sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Duckers against 4.6 for Super Penguins. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Super Penguins has 3.9K ratings behind it against 80, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 87% of Duckers's written reviews are positive against 90% of Super Penguins's.

Duckers ships an update every 10 months, Super Penguins every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 23, 2026.
