Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tin Toy at none against Haptic Testing's 3. Tin Toy also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 91%). Haptic Testing's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and rating (4.3 vs 4.0). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Haptic Testing sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Tin Toy asks for nothing beyond the download.
Haptic Testing holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Haptic Testing has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of Haptic Testing's written reviews are positive against 100% of Tin Toy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Haptic Testing ships an update every 2 weeks, Tin Toy every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
