# TipKeep vs Tip & Shift Tracker

The clearest difference is ads: Tip & Shift Tracker at none against TipKeep's shown. Tip & Shift Tracker also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). TipKeep's advantage is chart position (#153 vs unranked) and ratings volume (30 vs 4). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TipKeep sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Tip & Shift Tracker sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for TipKeep against 5.0 for Tip & Shift Tracker. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TipKeep has 30 ratings behind it against 4, 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 weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 5, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
