Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: NoBark at 100% against TickChecker's 34%. NoBark also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 14) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 5 weeks). TickChecker's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 3.8) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

TickChecker holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TickChecker has 1.7K ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 34% of TickChecker's written reviews are positive against 100% of NoBark's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

TickChecker ships an update every 5 weeks, NoBark every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
