# Tiny Robots vs Odd Machines

The clearest difference is ads: Odd Machines at none against Tiny Robots's shown. Tiny Robots's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tiny Robots sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and Odd Machines sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tiny Robots holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tiny Robots has 1K ratings behind it against 89, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 76% of Tiny Robots's written reviews are positive against 61% of Odd Machines's.

Tiny Robots ships an update every 3 weeks, Odd Machines every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
