Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tek at 100% against Tekion's 18%. Tek also leads on rating (5.0 vs 1.9) and device support (4 vs 2). Tekion's advantage is ratings volume (411 vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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.
Tek holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 1.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tekion has 411 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Tek's written reviews are positive against 18% of Tekion's.
Tek ships an update every 2 months, Tekion every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
