# AirConsole vs FR3

The clearest difference is ads: AirConsole at none against FR3's shown. FR3's advantage is ratings volume (235K vs 5K) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AirConsole sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and FR3 sells 18 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for AirConsole against 4.7 for FR3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FR3 has 235K ratings behind it against 5K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 55% and 55% positive.

AirConsole ships an update every 2 months, FR3 every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
