Both are free to download. Just The Tips sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Townelink asks for nothing beyond the download.
Just The Tips holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Just The Tips has 3.1K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Just The Tips's written reviews are positive against 100% of Townelink's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Just The Tips ships an update fortnightly, Townelink every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
