Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Aubor at 3.0 against Transparency's 2.2. Aubor also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.6). Transparency's advantage is ratings volume (26 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Aubor holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Transparency has 26 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 14% of Transparency's written reviews are positive against 11% of Aubor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Transparency ships an update every 2 months, Aubor monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
