# Proscenic vs TP

The clearest difference is review sentiment: TP at 74% against Proscenic's 13%. TP also leads on rating (4.8 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (21K vs 9). Proscenic's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 15) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 14.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TP sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month. Proscenic asks for nothing beyond the download.

TP holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TP has 21K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 13% of Proscenic's written reviews are positive against 74% of TP's.

Proscenic ships an update monthly, TP every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
