Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: NuSource at 4.9 against Thryfter's 4.4. NuSource also leads on ratings volume (205 vs 58). Thryfter's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

NuSource holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 205 and 58 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of NuSource's written reviews are positive against 70% of Thryfter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

NuSource ships an update every 3 weeks, Thryfter every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on June 10, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
