Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tide at 100% against IGOTIN's 54%. Tide also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 7) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). IGOTIN's advantage is ratings volume (2.4K vs 3) and update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. IGOTIN sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Tide asks for nothing beyond the download.
Tide holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IGOTIN has 2.4K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 54% of IGOTIN's written reviews are positive against 100% of Tide's.
IGOTIN ships an update every 3 days, Tide fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
