# Yam Display vs Touch Portal

The clearest difference is price: Touch Portal at Free against Yam Display's $7.99. Touch Portal also leads on ratings volume (812 vs 82). Yam Display's advantage is review sentiment (70% vs 55%) and chart position (#136 vs unranked). On rating, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Touch Portal is free to download; Yam Display costs $7.99 up front. Yam Display sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Touch Portal sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Touch Portal holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Touch Portal has 812 ratings behind it against 82, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Yam Display's written reviews are positive against 55% of Touch Portal's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
