# Http traffic capture vs Tin Toy

The clearest difference is rating: Http traffic capture at 4.6 against Tin Toy's 4.0. Http traffic capture also leads on ratings volume (189 vs 1) and chart position (#163 vs unranked). Tin Toy's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Http traffic capture sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Tin Toy asks for nothing beyond the download.

Http traffic capture holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Http traffic capture has 189 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Http traffic capture's written reviews are positive against 100% of Tin Toy'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 months. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
