Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Skorch at none against Tine's 2. Skorch also leads on ratings volume (233 vs 27) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). Tine's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tine sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $49.99 per month. Skorch asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Tine holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Skorch has 233 ratings behind it against 27, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 92% of Skorch's written reviews are positive against 90% of Tine's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Skorch ships an update every 5 weeks, Tine every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
