Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Owloop at free with in-app purchases against TTS's subscription. Owloop also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 87%). TTS's advantage is ratings volume (1K vs 3) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. TTS sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Owloop sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Owloop holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TTS has 1K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 87% of TTS's written reviews are positive against 100% of Owloop's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

TTS ships an update every 2 months, Owloop every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
