Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: 1380 The Fan at 4.2 against Tablo's 2.1. 1380 The Fan also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Tablo's advantage is review sentiment (20% vs 0%) and ratings volume (107 vs 5). On price, update cadence, 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.
1380 The Fan holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tablo has 107 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of 1380 The Fan's written reviews are positive against 20% of Tablo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
1380 The Fan ships an update every 2 months, Tablo every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
