# GWN vs TP

The clearest difference is rating: TP at 4.6 against GWN's 3.8. TP also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (662 vs 4). GWN's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

TP holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TP has 662 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 56% of GWN's written reviews are positive against 59% of TP's.

GWN ships an update every 3 months, TP every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
