# TiltSwitch vs NOVA

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TiltSwitch at none against NOVA's 3. TiltSwitch also leads on review sentiment (67% vs 36%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). NOVA's advantage is ratings volume (1.2K vs 48) and chart position (#124 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. NOVA sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month. TiltSwitch asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.3 for TiltSwitch against 4.3 for NOVA. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NOVA has 1.2K ratings behind it against 48, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 67% of TiltSwitch's written reviews are positive against 36% of NOVA's.

TiltSwitch ships an update every 4 weeks, NOVA every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on June 9, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
