# Tappy Cat vs Sqube Darkness

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tappy Cat at 76% against Sqube Darkness's 36%. Tappy Cat also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). Sqube Darkness's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 85 months) and rating (4.8 vs 4.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tappy Cat sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Sqube Darkness sells 21 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Sqube Darkness holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sqube Darkness has 32K ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Tappy Cat's written reviews are positive against 36% of Sqube Darkness's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Tappy Cat ships an update every 85 months, Sqube Darkness every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 4, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
