Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Ping at 85% against Tammad's 33%. Ping also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (376 vs 1). Tammad's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Ping sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Tammad sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Tammad holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ping has 376 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of Ping's written reviews are positive against 33% of Tammad's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Ping ships an update every 3 months, Tammad monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
