Verdict
TickChecker and GlowScreen both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of GlowScreen's written reviews are positive against 34% of TickChecker's. GlowScreen also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). TickChecker's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.7K vs 80). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TickChecker sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and GlowScreen sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
GlowScreen holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TickChecker has 1.7K ratings behind it against 80, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 34% of TickChecker's written reviews are positive against 100% of GlowScreen's.
TickChecker ships an update every 5 weeks, GlowScreen fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 5, 2026.
