# Tail! vs Faxo

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tail! at none against Faxo's 21. Tail! also leads on iOS requirement (13.2 vs 15.0). Faxo's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.8K vs 190). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Faxo sells 21 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Tail! asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Tail! against 4.6 for Faxo. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Faxo has 1.8K ratings behind it against 190, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 80% of Tail!'s written reviews are positive against 81% of Faxo's.

Tail! ships an update every 4 days, Faxo every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
