# Tessie vs Knewness

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Knewness at 100% against Tessie's 64%. Knewness also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Tessie's advantage is ratings volume (9.7K vs 2) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tessie sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Knewness sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Knewness 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 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 64% of Tessie's written reviews are positive against 100% of Knewness's.

Tessie ships an update weekly, Knewness every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
