Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MyPrevea at 4.2 against The Tick App's 3.9. MyPrevea also leads on ratings volume (268 vs 24). The Tick App's advantage is review sentiment (43% vs 29%) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
MyPrevea holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MyPrevea has 268 ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of MyPrevea's written reviews are positive against 43% of The Tick App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MyPrevea ships an update every 4 months, The Tick App every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
