# QuizMate vs TLDL

The clearest difference is ads: TLDL at none against QuizMate's shown. TLDL also leads on ratings volume (7.3K vs 109). QuizMate's advantage is review sentiment (96% vs 73%) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. QuizMate sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per 7 days and TLDL sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for QuizMate against 4.8 for TLDL. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TLDL has 7.3K ratings behind it against 109, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 96% of QuizMate's written reviews are positive against 73% of TLDL's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
