Verdict
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.
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.
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.
