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. Purpl PRO 2 sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. TM+ Pro asks for nothing beyond the download.
Purpl PRO 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TM+ Pro has 104 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 32% of TM+ Pro's written reviews are positive against 25% of Purpl PRO 2's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
TM+ Pro ships an update every 5 weeks, Purpl PRO 2 every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
