Both are free to download. Dots and Bubbles sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Tiny Construction sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Dots and Bubbles holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dots and Bubbles has 17 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Dots and Bubbles's written reviews are positive against 67% of Tiny Construction's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Dots and Bubbles ships an update fortnightly, Tiny Construction weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 10, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
