# Tessie vs NAXEON

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: NAXEON at none against Tessie's 17. NAXEON also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Tessie's advantage is ratings volume (9.7K vs 5) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tessie sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. NAXEON asks for nothing beyond the download.

NAXEON holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tessie has 9.7K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Tessie ships an update weekly, NAXEON monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
