Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Expression Guest Registry™ holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Toast has 9 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Expression Guest Registry™'s written reviews are positive against 86% of The Toast's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Expression Guest Registry™ ships an update every 2 months, The Toast every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
