Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Hotel Ticuan holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iBorder has 37 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of iBorder's written reviews are positive against 0% of Hotel Ticuan's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
iBorder ships an update every 8 days, Hotel Ticuan every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
