# AirConsole vs Tetherfall

The clearest difference is ads: AirConsole at none against Tetherfall's shown. AirConsole also leads on ratings volume (5.1K vs 1). Tetherfall's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AirConsole sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Tetherfall sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tetherfall holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AirConsole has 5.1K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

AirConsole ships an update every 2 months, Tetherfall every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 13, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
