Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: PLOCK at none against TileIQ's shown. PLOCK also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). TileIQ's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 87%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PLOCK sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and TileIQ sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

PLOCK holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TileIQ has 12 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of PLOCK's written reviews are positive against 100% of TileIQ's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

PLOCK ships an update every 2 months, TileIQ every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
