Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Tri holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 2.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 8 and 6 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Tri's written reviews are positive against 33% of TSEMC PowerPal's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Tri ships an update every 7 months, TSEMC PowerPal every 27 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
