Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: O’Colly at none against Tulsa's 7. O’Colly also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Tulsa's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 5) and chart position (#199 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tulsa sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $29.99 per month. O’Colly asks for nothing beyond the download.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.3 for Tulsa against 4.2 for O’Colly. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tulsa has 1.1K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Tulsa ships an update every 2 months, O’Colly every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
