Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TappedIn at none against ARknet's 1. TappedIn also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). ARknet's advantage is ratings volume (315 vs 10) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.4). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ARknet sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.99 per month. TappedIn asks for nothing beyond the download.
TappedIn holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ARknet has 315 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 83% of ARknet's written reviews are positive against 100% of TappedIn's.
ARknet ships an update fortnightly, TappedIn every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
