# AppClose vs rmResident

The clearest difference is rating: AppClose at 4.7 against rmResident's 3.5. AppClose also leads on ratings volume (39K vs 1.9K) and chart position (#31 vs #184). rmResident's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and review sentiment (28% vs 13%). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AppClose sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. rmResident asks for nothing beyond the download.

AppClose holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AppClose has 39K ratings behind it against 1.9K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 13% of AppClose's written reviews are positive against 28% of rmResident's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
