Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: RobotMania at Free against Townopolis's $3.99. RobotMania also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (768 vs 5). Townopolis's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Townopolis holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RobotMania has 768 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of RobotMania's written reviews are positive against 71% of Townopolis's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

RobotMania ships an update every 3 days, Townopolis every 2 months. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
