Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: TinkleTools at freemium against Notifyman's subscription. TinkleTools also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 87%). Notifyman's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 9 days). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Notifyman sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per year and TinkleTools sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Notifyman holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Notifyman has 11 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of Notifyman's written reviews are positive against 100% of TinkleTools's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Notifyman ships an update every 3 days, TinkleTools every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and June 24, 2026 respectively.
