# Tiny Goalie vs World Soccer Challenge

The clearest difference is ads: Tiny Goalie at none against World Soccer Challenge's shown. Tiny Goalie also leads on review sentiment (84% vs 73%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). World Soccer Challenge's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 4.1). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tiny Goalie sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and World Soccer Challenge sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

World Soccer Challenge holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 54 and 133 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of Tiny Goalie's written reviews are positive against 73% of World Soccer Challenge's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 14, 2026.
