Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Central Hudson Mobile at 3.1 against Tele's 2.3. Central Hudson Mobile also leads on ratings volume (690 vs 3) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months). Tele's advantage is review sentiment (20% vs 11%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Central Hudson Mobile holds the better App Store score, 3.1 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Central Hudson Mobile has 690 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 11% of Central Hudson Mobile's written reviews are positive against 20% of Tele's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Central Hudson Mobile ships an update every 2 months, Tele every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 15, 2026 respectively.
