# TP vs E

The clearest difference is update cadence: TP at every 10 days against E's every 8 months. TP also leads on ratings volume (644 vs 1) and review sentiment (59% vs 36%). E's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

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

E holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TP has 644 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of TP's written reviews are positive against 36% of E's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

TP ships an update every 10 days, E every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
