# TP vs eSolutions

The clearest difference is review sentiment: TP at 92% against eSolutions's 33%. TP also leads on rating (4.9 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (86K vs 3). eSolutions's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 15). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TP sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. eSolutions asks for nothing beyond the download.

TP holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TP has 86K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
