# Tap & Print vs Thrive.App

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Thrive.App at 100% against Tap & Print's 52%. Thrive.App also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 16). Tap & Print's advantage is rating (4.2 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (3.5K vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tap & Print sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Thrive.App asks for nothing beyond the download.

Tap & Print holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tap & Print has 3.5K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of Tap & Print's written reviews are positive against 100% of Thrive.App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
