# Tab vs Splitter

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tab at none against Splitter's 1. Tab also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 14). Splitter's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.2) and review sentiment (80% vs 66%). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Splitter sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Tab asks for nothing beyond the download.

Splitter holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tab has 1.1K ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 66% of Tab's written reviews are positive against 80% of Splitter's.

Tab ships an update every 3 weeks, Splitter every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
