# Tasty Planet vs Botanicula

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Botanicula at 541 against Tasty Planet's 86. Botanicula also leads on price ($1.99 vs $3.99) and chart position (#41 vs #152). On rating, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Tasty Planet costs $3.99 and Botanicula $1.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Botanicula holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Botanicula has 541 ratings behind it against 86, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of Tasty Planet's written reviews are positive against 80% of Botanicula's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Tasty Planet ships an update every 3 months, Botanicula every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
