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. Tammad sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. ntfy asks for nothing beyond the download.
Tammad holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ntfy has 425 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of ntfy's written reviews are positive against 33% of Tammad's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ntfy ships an update fortnightly, Tammad monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
