# Tiny Bird vs Canvas Run

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tiny Bird at 67% against Canvas Run's 29%. Tiny Bird also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.5). Canvas Run's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (35K vs 4). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tiny Bird sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Canvas Run sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tiny Bird holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Canvas Run has 35K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 67% of Tiny Bird's written reviews are positive against 29% of Canvas Run's.

Tiny Bird ships an update every 3 months, Canvas Run fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
