Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Tierarzt+ at 5.0 against TK's 4.2. Tierarzt+ also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). TK's advantage is review sentiment (81% vs 71%) and ratings volume (21 vs 6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Tierarzt+ holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 21 and 6 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of TK's written reviews are positive against 71% of Tierarzt+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

TK ships an update every 6 weeks, Tierarzt+ every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
