# TENKYU vs Rotator

The clearest difference is ads: Rotator at none against TENKYU's shown. Rotator also leads on review sentiment (68% vs 59%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). TENKYU's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.1) and update cadence (monthly vs every 26 months). 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.

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 223, 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.

TENKYU ships an update monthly, Rotator every 26 months. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
