# TipKeepr vs TipStream

The clearest difference is ads: TipStream at none against TipKeepr's shown. TipKeepr's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly) and ratings volume (123 vs 2). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TipKeepr sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.39 per month and TipStream sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
