# TL Pro vs AxentHost

The clearest difference is rating: TL Pro at 5.0 against AxentHost's 3.8. TL Pro also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). AxentHost's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (10 vs 1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AxentHost sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. TL Pro asks for nothing beyond the download.

TL Pro holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AxentHost has 10 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

TL Pro ships an update every 4 months, AxentHost every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
