# TPC vs ShadowShare

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TPC at none against ShadowShare's 3. TPC also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). ShadowShare's advantage is ratings volume (367 vs 4). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ShadowShare sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. TPC asks for nothing beyond the download.

TPC holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ShadowShare has 367 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.

TPC ships an update every 3 weeks, ShadowShare every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
