Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Insider at none against Trepo's shown. Trepo's advantage is ratings volume (56 vs 1) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Trepo against 5.0 for Insider. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Trepo has 56 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Trepo ships an update every 4 days, Insider every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 28, 2026.
