# Buggy vs Tiny Runner

The clearest difference is rating: Buggy at 5.0 against Tiny Runner's 4.2. Buggy also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 5). Tiny Runner's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 44%) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 11 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tiny Runner sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Buggy asks for nothing beyond the download.

Buggy holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2 and 6 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of Buggy's written reviews are positive against 75% of Tiny Runner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Buggy ships an update every 11 months, Tiny Runner every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
