Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Tuner+ at Free against Tuning Fork Pro's $14.99. Tuner+ also leads on review sentiment (82% vs 42%) and rating (4.7 vs 4.3). Tuning Fork Pro's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 months). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
