# TinyEpochs vs Celestile

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Celestile at 100% against TinyEpochs's 0%. Celestile also leads on rating (4.8 vs 1.0) and update cadence (every 11 days vs every 5 months). TinyEpochs's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TinyEpochs sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Celestile sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Celestile holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Celestile has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 0% of TinyEpochs's written reviews are positive against 100% of Celestile's.

TinyEpochs ships an update every 5 months, Celestile every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
