# Tie Right vs Pocket Tie Guide

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tie Right at none against Pocket Tie Guide's 1. Tie Right also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). Pocket Tie Guide's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 84%). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pocket Tie Guide sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Tie Right asks for nothing beyond the download.

Tie Right holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tie Right has 114 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of Tie Right's written reviews are positive against 100% of Pocket Tie Guide's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Tie Right ships an update every 6 months, Pocket Tie Guide every 10 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
