# Endless Doves vs Thunderdogs

The clearest difference is rating: Thunderdogs at 4.7 against Endless Doves's 4.2. Thunderdogs also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 11 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Endless Doves sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Thunderdogs sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Thunderdogs holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Thunderdogs has 5K ratings behind it against 70, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Endless Doves's written reviews are positive against 62% of Thunderdogs's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Endless Doves ships an update every 11 months, Thunderdogs every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
