Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: TMB Reference Guide at none against Assemble's shown. TMB Reference Guide also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Assemble's advantage is ratings volume (130 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Assemble sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and TMB Reference Guide sells 15 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
TMB Reference Guide holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Assemble has 130 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Assemble ships an update every 2 months, TMB Reference Guide every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 13, 2026 and June 5, 2026 respectively.
