# TipIsServed vs Checkout

The clearest difference is rating: Checkout at 5.0 against TipIsServed's 4.5. Checkout also leads on ratings volume (26 vs 2). TipIsServed's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 87%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TipIsServed sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.99 per month and Checkout sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Checkout holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Checkout has 26 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of TipIsServed's written reviews are positive against 87% of Checkout's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

TipIsServed ships an update every 9 days, Checkout weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 8, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
