Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: TENKYU at 4.6 against Rotator's 4.1. TENKYU also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 26 months) and ratings volume (255K vs 219). Rotator's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (68% vs 59%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TENKYU sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Rotator sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

TENKYU holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TENKYU has 255K ratings behind it against 219, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of TENKYU's written reviews are positive against 68% of Rotator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

TENKYU ships an update monthly, Rotator every 26 months. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and August 12, 2026 respectively.
