Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Tulsa at 4.3 against Herald's 2.8. Tulsa also leads on ratings volume (1.1K vs 46) and chart position (#195 vs unranked). Herald's advantage is review sentiment (43% vs 29%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
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. Herald sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $25.99 per month and Tulsa sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $29.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Tulsa holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tulsa has 1.1K ratings behind it against 46, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of Herald's written reviews are positive against 29% of Tulsa's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
