Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: NYC Tartan Week at free against Met Opera's free with in-app purchases. NYC Tartan Week also leads on iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.6). Met Opera's advantage is ratings volume (4.3K vs 2) and chart position (#157 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for NYC Tartan Week against 4.9 for Met Opera. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Met Opera has 4.3K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
NYC Tartan Week ships an update monthly, Met Opera fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
