# Garoku vs Tiny Connections

The clearest difference is rating: Garoku at 5.0 against Tiny Connections's 4.3. Tiny Connections's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (617 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

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