# Bad Piggies vs NOTAGO

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: NOTAGO at none against Bad Piggies's 12. NOTAGO also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.7 vs 4.2). Bad Piggies's advantage is ratings volume (6.3K vs 3) and review sentiment (68% vs 60%). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bad Piggies sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. NOTAGO asks for nothing beyond the download.

NOTAGO holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bad Piggies has 6.3K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Bad Piggies's written reviews are positive against 60% of NOTAGO's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Bad Piggies ships an update every 6 weeks, NOTAGO every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
