Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: TourPatron at 95% against Broadway.com's 38%. TourPatron also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.9 vs 4.7). Broadway.com's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (2K vs 166). On price, monetization model, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

TourPatron holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Broadway.com has 2K ratings behind it against 166, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Broadway.com ships an update every 2 months, TourPatron every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
