Achieve balance, margin, and focus while mastering key areas of your life using the most comprehensive spiritual discipline system, TMPx. DON’T JUST “BE MORE PRODUCTIVE” — BE FRUITFUL FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD IN EVERY AREA OF YOUR LIFE After achieving a certain amount of success, the big question, “What now?” always sets in. We hit a plateau in our personal lives. Our family life drifts. Our career ambitions go static. Our faith gets put on autopilot. “The hour has come for you to wake from sleep,” Romans 13:11 tells us. “For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed.” What does this mean? It means that drifting is NOT what God designed us for… it’s time to wake up to our true purpose and make the best use of the time we have here on Earth! But how can we do this? Many of us will try to “become more productive” — to DO more in order to feel like we are not wasting time. This is not the answer either. Instead, our lives are about bearing fruit — which means constantly receiving the nutrients we need (the truth of God’s Word) and growing, day by day, into the people we are meant to be. The TMPx app is designed to help you practice the important disciplines that will help you grow into maturity in each area of your life — so that you bear fruit, just as you were made to do. TMPx app is exclusively for members of the masters program. To learn more about membership, go to https://www.tmpx.com.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: TMPx at 5.0 against Study Gateway's 4.2. TMPx also leads on monetization model (free vs subscription) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 5 months). Study Gateway's advantage is ratings volume (900 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

TMPx holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Study Gateway has 900 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Study Gateway ships an update every 5 months, TMPx every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and June 24, 2026 respectively.
