# TLDL vs ClassFactor

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ClassFactor at 100% against TLDL's 73%. ClassFactor also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). TLDL's advantage is ratings volume (7.3K vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TLDL sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and ClassFactor sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $20.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ClassFactor holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TLDL has 7.3K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 73% of TLDL's written reviews are positive against 100% of ClassFactor's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
