Verdict

The call

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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

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.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

WebSocket Client ships an update every 30 months, Touch Portal every 3 months. Both last shipped on September 21, 2026.
