# TSP TIPS vs TSP Pro

The clearest difference is rating: TSP Pro at 5.0 against TSP TIPS's 3.3. TSP TIPS's advantage is ratings volume (146 vs 5) and chart position (#116 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TSP TIPS sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and TSP Pro sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TSP Pro holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TSP TIPS has 146 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
