Rank your games from S to F in tier lists that actually say something, then build a profile that shows exactly who you are as a player. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Rank every game S to F in custom tier lists • Track your backlog so you never forget what to play next • Write reviews and read real player takes, not marketing hype • Follow gamers you trust and debate in the comments • "Where to play": compare prices across stores before you buy • Get recommendations picked for your taste • Explore franchises, DLC and collections Whether you're a completionist tracking a 200-game backlog or just want to remember that one indie gem, Tier is your gaming diary. Download Tier and start ranking. Tier is free on iOS, Android and the web at yourtier.com.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tier at none against PatchPulse's 2. PatchPulse's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
