# Tab vs ChiSweep

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tab at none against ChiSweep's 1. Tab also leads on ratings volume (1.2K vs 12) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). ChiSweep's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 66%). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

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

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.2 for Tab against 4.3 for ChiSweep. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tab has 1.2K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 66% of Tab's written reviews are positive against 75% of ChiSweep's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
