# Tester vs ApiClient

The clearest difference is rating: Tester at 4.7 against ApiClient's 1.0. Tester also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 months). ApiClient's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 90%) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.7). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tester sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and ApiClient sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tester holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tester has 601 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of Tester's written reviews are positive against 100% of ApiClient's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Tester ships an update every 2 days, ApiClient every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
