# TREC Mobile vs RYOBI

The clearest difference is rating: RYOBI at 4.7 against TREC Mobile's 4.0. RYOBI also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 9 months) and ratings volume (13K vs 4). TREC Mobile's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (50% vs 30%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

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

RYOBI holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RYOBI has 13K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of TREC Mobile's written reviews are positive against 30% of RYOBI's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

TREC Mobile ships an update every 9 months, RYOBI fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
