Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: TallyFlex at 4.3 against ABA Cards's 3.8. TallyFlex also leads on ratings volume (89 vs 13). ABA Cards's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

TallyFlex holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TallyFlex has 89 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of ABA Cards's written reviews are positive against 63% of TallyFlex's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ABA Cards ships an update every 9 days, TallyFlex weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
