Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Tiny Rails at 4.6 against On My Own's 3.6. Tiny Rails also leads on review sentiment (73% vs 51%) and ratings volume (6.3K vs 641). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. On My Own sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Tiny Rails sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Tiny Rails holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tiny Rails has 6.3K ratings behind it against 641, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 51% of On My Own's written reviews are positive against 73% of Tiny Rails's.
On My Own ships an update monthly, Tiny Rails every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 22, 2026.
