Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. QTown sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. AITok asks for nothing beyond the download.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for QTown against 5.0 for AITok. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: QTown has 35 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
QTown ships an update every 3 weeks, AITok fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
