# Tarot Tap vs Taro Reader

The clearest difference is ads: Tarot Tap at none against Taro Reader's shown. Tarot Tap also leads on review sentiment (81% vs 60%) and ratings volume (45 vs 5). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tarot Tap sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and Taro Reader sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tarot Tap holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tarot Tap has 45 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 81% of Tarot Tap's written reviews are positive against 60% of Taro Reader's.

Tarot Tap ships an update fortnightly, Taro Reader monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and June 9, 2026 respectively.
