# Deconstructor vs Tiny Space Program

The clearest difference is rating: Tiny Space Program at 4.5 against Deconstructor's 3.8. Tiny Space Program also leads on review sentiment (81% vs 44%) and ratings volume (1.7K vs 46). Deconstructor's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Deconstructor sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Tiny Space Program sells 14 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tiny Space Program holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tiny Space Program has 1.7K ratings behind it against 46, so its average is the more settled of the two.
