Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Muru at 4.9 against TigerConnect EMS's 4.0. Muru also leads on ratings volume (128 vs 20). TigerConnect EMS's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Muru holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Muru has 128 ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of TigerConnect EMS's written reviews are positive against 99% of Muru's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

TigerConnect EMS ships an update every 2 weeks, Muru every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 22, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
