# SimpleTip vs T

SimpleTip and T both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 75% of SimpleTip's written reviews are positive against 25% of T's. T's advantage is price (Free vs $0.99) and ratings volume (208K vs 144). On rating, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

T is free to download; SimpleTip costs $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for SimpleTip against 4.7 for T. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: T has 208K ratings behind it against 144, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 75% of SimpleTip's written reviews are positive against 25% of T's.

SimpleTip ships an update every 8 months, T every 4 months. Both last shipped on October 23, 2026.
