Tip Solver costs $1.99 and SimpleTip $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
SimpleTip holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SimpleTip has 144 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Tip Solver's written reviews are positive against 75% of SimpleTip's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Tip Solver ships an update every 5 months, SimpleTip every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on June 10, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
