Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Trust WiFi at none against TP's 15. TP's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 22 months) and ratings volume (21K vs 1). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TP sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month. Trust WiFi asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Trust WiFi holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TP has 21K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of TP's written reviews are positive against 50% of Trust WiFi's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

TP ships an update every 2 weeks, Trust WiFi every 22 months. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
