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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Joyraft holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Joyraft has 1.3K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of Joyraft's written reviews are positive against 100% of Tandera's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Joyraft ships an update every 3 weeks, Tandera monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
