# NewsBlur vs TinyTinyClient

The clearest difference is ratings volume: NewsBlur at 502 against TinyTinyClient's 3. NewsBlur also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 5 weeks). TinyTinyClient's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. NewsBlur sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $29.99 per month and TinyTinyClient sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TinyTinyClient holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NewsBlur has 502 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

NewsBlur ships an update every 9 days, TinyTinyClient every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and July 6, 2026 respectively.
