# Tail! vs Faxo

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tail! at none against Faxo's 10. Tail! also leads on iOS requirement (13.2 vs 15.0). Faxo's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (2K vs 190). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Faxo sells 10 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 2K ratings behind it against 190, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 80% and 80% positive.

Tail! ships an update every 4 days, Faxo every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
