Both are free to download. Piffle sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Ugly Frog asks for nothing beyond the download.
Ugly Frog holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Piffle has 22K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Ugly Frog's written reviews are positive against 79% of Piffle's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Ugly Frog ships an update every 3 weeks, Piffle monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
