Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Tillypad POS at 5.0 against PosKing's 3.1. Tillypad POS also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 6) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). PosKing's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (13 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Tillypad POS holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PosKing has 13 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Tillypad POS's written reviews are positive against 56% of PosKing's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Tillypad POS ships an update every 7 months, PosKing monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
