Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tuner+ at 82% against iTuner's 11%. Tuner+ also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). iTuner's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 13.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tuner+ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and iTuner sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Tuner+ holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tuner+ has 1.1K ratings behind it against 115, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 82% of Tuner+'s written reviews are positive against 11% of iTuner's.
Tuner+ ships an update every 6 months, iTuner every 4 months. Both last shipped on October 26, 2026.
