Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Tunneldeck holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ratels has 73 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Tunneldeck's written reviews are positive against 40% of Ratels's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Tunneldeck ships an update every 5 weeks, Ratels every 4 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
