Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: TP at 1K against Net's 1. TP also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.6). Net's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for TP against 5.0 for Net. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TP has 1K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

TP ships an update every 6 weeks, Net fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
