# ServerLife vs TipKeep

The clearest difference is ratings volume: ServerLife at 9.4K against TipKeep's 30. ServerLife also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). TipKeep's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 80%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ServerLife sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and TipKeep sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for ServerLife against 4.9 for TipKeep. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ServerLife has 9.4K ratings behind it against 30, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 80% of ServerLife's written reviews are positive against 100% of TipKeep's.

ServerLife ships an update every 3 weeks, TipKeep weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
