# TackBox vs Equester

The clearest difference is update cadence: Equester at every 5 weeks against TackBox's every 4 months. TackBox's advantage is ratings volume (10 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.1). On price, rating, 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.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for TackBox against 5.0 for Equester. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TackBox has 10 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

TackBox ships an update every 4 months, Equester every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on October 3, 2026.
