# Sandbox Experiments vs Tiny Robot Thief Run

The clearest difference is rating: Sandbox Experiments at 4.7 against Tiny Robot Thief Run's 3.0. Sandbox Experiments also leads on ratings volume (599 vs 3) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). Tiny Robot Thief Run's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 60%) and ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sandbox Experiments sells 18 one-off in-app purchases and Tiny Robot Thief Run sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Sandbox Experiments holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sandbox Experiments has 599 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Sandbox Experiments's written reviews are positive against 100% of Tiny Robot Thief Run's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Sandbox Experiments ships an update fortnightly, Tiny Robot Thief Run every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
