Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: WebSocket Client at 100% against Touch Portal's 55%. WebSocket Client also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 6). Touch Portal's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.0) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 30 months). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Touch Portal sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. WebSocket Client asks for nothing beyond the download.
Touch Portal holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Touch Portal has 800 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of WebSocket Client's written reviews are positive against 55% of Touch Portal's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
WebSocket Client ships an update every 30 months, Touch Portal every 3 months. Both last shipped on September 21, 2026.
