Both are free to download. Pudding Maker sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Starry Sea Tycoon sells 14 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Starry Sea Tycoon holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 40 and 26 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Pudding Maker's written reviews are positive against 90% of Starry Sea Tycoon's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Pudding Maker ships an update every 3 weeks, Starry Sea Tycoon every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
