Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Treehorn at freemium against Narwhal for Reddit's subscription. Treehorn also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5). Narwhal for Reddit's advantage is ratings volume (17K vs 3) and chart position (#30 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Narwhal for Reddit sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Treehorn sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Treehorn holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Narwhal for Reddit has 17K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Narwhal for Reddit ships an update weekly, Treehorn every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
