# Rayyan vs Tuggle

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tuggle at 100% against Rayyan's 37%. Tuggle also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.9). Rayyan's advantage is ratings volume (25 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Rayyan sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Tuggle sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tuggle holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rayyan has 25 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 37% of Rayyan's written reviews are positive against 100% of Tuggle's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
