Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
TP holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TP has 822 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 39% of TP's written reviews are positive against 50% of VTech Companion Devices's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
TP ships an update every 3 months, VTech Companion Devices every 41 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
