Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: TMF Store at 97% against Handy.com's 38%. TMF Store also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.1). Handy.com's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support 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.
TMF Store holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Handy.com has 29K ratings behind it against 508, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 38% of Handy.com's written reviews are positive against 97% of TMF Store's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
