Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MikroTik at none against TDSEE's 10. MikroTik also leads on rating (3.9 vs 3.4) and review sentiment (46% vs 20%). TDSEE's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TDSEE sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. MikroTik asks for nothing beyond the download.
MikroTik holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MikroTik has 283 ratings behind it against 52, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 46% of MikroTik's written reviews are positive against 20% of TDSEE's.
MikroTik ships an update every 2 months, TDSEE fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
