# FireApp vs Tip Out

The clearest difference is rating: Tip Out at 5.0 against FireApp's 4.5. FireApp's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (91 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FireApp sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and Tip Out sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tip Out holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FireApp has 91 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

FireApp ships an update every 3 days, Tip Out every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
