# TheaterEars vs TCS Go!

The clearest difference is review sentiment: TheaterEars at 61% against TCS Go!'s 6%. TheaterEars also leads on rating (4.9 vs 3.2) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TheaterEars sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and TCS Go! sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TheaterEars holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TheaterEars has 59K ratings behind it against 1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 61% of TheaterEars's written reviews are positive against 6% of TCS Go!'s.

TheaterEars ships an update every 2 weeks, TCS Go! every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
