Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Teckro at 5.0 against RealTime's 4.5. Teckro also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). RealTime's advantage is review sentiment (60% vs 33%) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Teckro holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 8 and 15 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Teckro's written reviews are positive against 60% of RealTime's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Teckro ships an update fortnightly, RealTime every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
