# Interactful vs Tinca

The clearest difference is update cadence: Tinca at every 4 days against Interactful's every 5 weeks. Tinca also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). Interactful's advantage is ratings volume (403 vs 1) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Interactful sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Tinca sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Interactful against 5.0 for Tinca. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Interactful has 403 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 98% of Interactful's written reviews are positive against 100% of Tinca's.

Interactful ships an update every 5 weeks, Tinca every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
