# PayJar vs Tip'd

The clearest difference is rating: PayJar at 5.0 against Tip'd's 4.8. Tip'd's advantage is ratings volume (10 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PayJar sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Tip'd sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PayJar holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tip'd has 10 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

PayJar ships an update weekly, Tip'd every 5 days. Both last shipped on October 31, 2026.
