# Tiny Lacrosse vs Superstar Hockey

The clearest difference is rating: Superstar Hockey at 4.8 against Tiny Lacrosse's 3.6. Superstar Hockey also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 74 months) and ratings volume (23K vs 106). Tiny Lacrosse's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tiny Lacrosse sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Superstar Hockey sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Superstar Hockey holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Superstar Hockey has 23K ratings behind it against 106, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 42% and 41% positive.

Tiny Lacrosse ships an update every 74 months, Superstar Hockey every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
