Verdict
TIFF Official App and RecDek both sit at 5.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of RecDek's written reviews are positive against 41% of TIFF Official App's. RecDek also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs monthly). TIFF Official App's advantage is monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
