# Mega Mantis vs Foldlings

The clearest difference is ads: Foldlings at none against Mega Mantis's shown. Foldlings also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Mega Mantis's advantage is ratings volume (25 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mega Mantis sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Foldlings sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Foldlings holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mega Mantis has 25 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Mega Mantis ships an update fortnightly, Foldlings every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
