Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: TP at 822 against JustConnect+'s 10. TP also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 7 months). JustConnect+'s advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
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.
JustConnect+ holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TP has 822 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 34% of JustConnect+'s written reviews are positive against 39% of TP's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
JustConnect+ ships an update every 7 months, TP every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
