# Tiny Crawler vs Survive Alone

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tiny Crawler at 100% against Survive Alone's 62%. Survive Alone's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tiny Crawler sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Survive Alone sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Survive Alone holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Survive Alone has 145 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Tiny Crawler's written reviews are positive against 62% of Survive Alone's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Tiny Crawler ships an update every 2 months, Survive Alone every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
