# Tonechaser vs MyGearSafe

The clearest difference is ads: Tonechaser at none against MyGearSafe's shown. Tonechaser also leads on ratings volume (25 vs 1). MyGearSafe's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tonechaser sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and MyGearSafe sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MyGearSafe holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tonechaser has 25 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Tonechaser ships an update fortnightly, MyGearSafe every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
