Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: RTC’s real at 4.5 against Copilote+'s 3.3. Copilote+'s advantage is update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (30 vs 2). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

RTC’s real holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Copilote+ has 30 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 10% of RTC’s real's written reviews are positive against 15% of Copilote+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

RTC’s real ships an update every 3 months, Copilote+ every 4 weeks. Both last shipped on September 22, 2026.
