# Reflow vs Tabinator Pro

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tabinator Pro at 100% against Reflow's 44%. Tabinator Pro also leads on rating (4.7 vs 3.5). Reflow's advantage is ratings volume (33 vs 3). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Reflow sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Tabinator Pro sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
