# Tiny Castle vs Age of Monarchy

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tiny Castle at 66% against Age of Monarchy's 0%. Tiny Castle also leads on ratings volume (1.6K vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Age of Monarchy's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 3.9). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tiny Castle sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Age of Monarchy sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Age of Monarchy holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tiny Castle has 1.6K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Tiny Castle's written reviews are positive against 0% of Age of Monarchy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
