# Tulsa vs Times Record

Tulsa and Times Record both sit at 4.3 stars, but that hides the real split: 56% of Times Record's written reviews are positive against 29% of Tulsa's. Tulsa's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 77) and chart position (#150 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 and Times Record sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 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 — 4.3 for Tulsa against 4.2 for Times Record. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tulsa has 1.1K ratings behind it against 77, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 29% of Tulsa's written reviews are positive against 56% of Times Record's.

Tulsa ships an update every 2 months, Times Record monthly. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
