# TipIsServed vs TipKeep

The clearest difference is rating: TipKeep at 4.9 against TipIsServed's 4.0. TipKeep also leads on ratings volume (50 vs 2) and chart position (#163 vs unranked). TipIsServed's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, update cadence 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 TipKeep sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TipKeep holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TipKeep has 50 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 9 days. Both last shipped on November 5, 2026.
