Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Tock at 4.9 against Purines Direct's 3.4. Tock also leads on update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (9.7K vs 5). Purines Direct's advantage is review sentiment (36% vs 25%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Tock holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tock has 9.7K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of Purines Direct's written reviews are positive against 25% of Tock's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Purines Direct ships an update every 7 months, Tock every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
