# Timberman vs Crowded Sky

The clearest difference is rating: Crowded Sky at 5.0 against Timberman's 4.0. Crowded Sky also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 weeks). Timberman's advantage is ratings volume (523 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Timberman sells 15 one-off in-app purchases and Crowded Sky sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Crowded Sky holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Timberman has 523 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Timberman ships an update every 5 weeks, Crowded Sky every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
