# Tchisla vs Equilibrians (Lite)

The clearest difference is rating: Tchisla at 4.9 against Equilibrians (Lite)'s 4.0. Tchisla also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 105 months) and ratings volume (154 vs 1). Equilibrians (Lite)'s advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 88%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tchisla sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Equilibrians (Lite) sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tchisla holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tchisla has 154 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Tchisla's written reviews are positive against 100% of Equilibrians (Lite)'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Tchisla ships an update monthly, Equilibrians (Lite) every 105 months. Both last shipped on November 2, 2026.
