Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Star at 94% against TekTransport's 48%. Star also leads on ratings volume (52 vs 1). TekTransport's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
TekTransport holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Star has 52 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 94% of Star's written reviews are positive against 48% of TekTransport's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 27, 2026.
