# Tic vs Tic Tac Toe OXO

The clearest difference is rating: Tic Tac Toe OXO at 4.5 against Tic's 3.5. Tic Tac Toe OXO also leads on ratings volume (28K vs 6). Tic's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tic sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and Tic Tac Toe OXO sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tic Tac Toe OXO holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tic Tac Toe OXO has 28K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Tic's written reviews are positive against 62% of Tic Tac Toe OXO's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Tic ships an update every 2 months, Tic Tac Toe OXO every 9 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
