Reddit Premium is an optional paid upgrade. How do upvotes and karma work? Instead of likes and hearts, Reddit runs on upvotes and downvotes. Voting raises or lowers a post's visibility, so relevant, high-quality posts rise to the top while low-effort ones fade out. Voting also affects karma, a running score tied to your posts and comments. Karma doesn't limit what you can do, but more of it can help your posts get noticed, and some communities ask for a little karma before you post or comment to help keep out spam.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: content at 100% against Reddit's 25%. content also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 15) and ads (none vs shown). Reddit's advantage is price (Free vs $2.00) and rating (4.8 vs 4.0). On update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Reddit is free to download; content costs $2.00 up front. Reddit sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. content asks for nothing beyond the download.
Reddit holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Reddit has 3.5M ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Reddit's written reviews are positive against 100% of content'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 every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
