Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tumblupon at 75% against Tikbly's 43%. Tikbly's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 13 months) and rating (4.5 vs 4.3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Tikbly holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tikbly has 23 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Tumblupon's written reviews are positive against 43% of Tikbly's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Tumblupon ships an update every 13 months, Tikbly every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
