# Trybe vs Thenx

The clearest difference is update cadence: Thenx at every 3 days against Trybe's every 6 weeks. Thenx also leads on ratings volume (12K vs 722). Trybe's advantage is review sentiment (77% vs 66%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Trybe sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and Thenx sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 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 Trybe against 4.8 for Thenx. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Thenx has 12K ratings behind it against 722, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 77% of Trybe's written reviews are positive against 66% of Thenx's.

Trybe ships an update every 6 weeks, Thenx every 3 days. Both last shipped on October 18, 2026.
