Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tapin App at 75% against Thursday's 36%. Thursday's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and rating (4.5 vs 4.2). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Tapin App sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Thursday asks for nothing beyond the download.
Thursday holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Thursday has 413 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of Thursday's written reviews are positive against 75% of Tapin App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Thursday ships an update fortnightly, Tapin App every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
