Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tessie at 64% against Active Era's 15%. Tessie also leads on rating (4.8 vs 3.2) and update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks). Active Era's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 16.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Active Era ships an update every 6 weeks, Tessie weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
