Rules! costs $2.99 and Tap Master $1.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Tap Master holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2.

Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Rules!'s written reviews are positive against 0% of Tap Master's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Rules! ships an update monthly, Tap Master every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
