# Tape vs 叨叨

The clearest difference is rating: 叨叨 at 2.1 against Tape's 1.0. 叨叨 also leads on ratings volume (10 vs 2). Tape's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 12) and ads (none vs shown). On price, monetization model, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 叨叨 sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month. Tape asks for nothing beyond the download.

叨叨 holds the better App Store score, 2.1 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 叨叨 has 10 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 14% of Tape's written reviews are positive against 0% of 叨叨's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Tape ships an update weekly, 叨叨 monthly. The most recent releases landed on June 10, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
