# Tize vs Poly 2

The clearest difference is ads: Poly 2 at none against Tize's shown. Poly 2 also leads on review sentiment (84% vs 53%) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). Tize's advantage is ratings volume (16K vs 697) and iOS requirement (13.6 vs 16.6). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tize sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and Poly 2 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Poly 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tize has 16K ratings behind it against 697, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 53% of Tize's written reviews are positive against 84% of Poly 2's.

Tize ships an update every 3 weeks, Poly 2 every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
