# Tagtool vs ProjectX

The clearest difference is update cadence: ProjectX at every 6 days against Tagtool's every 8 months. ProjectX also leads on ratings volume (77 vs 5). Tagtool's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tagtool sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and ProjectX sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ProjectX holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ProjectX has 77 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 69% of Tagtool's written reviews are positive against 75% of ProjectX's.

Tagtool ships an update every 8 months, ProjectX every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
