# Refreshinator vs Auto Reloader

The clearest difference is rating: Auto Reloader at 5.0 against Refreshinator's 4.3. Auto Reloader also leads on price ($0.99 vs $2.99). Refreshinator's advantage is review sentiment (30% vs 11%) and ratings volume (33 vs 2). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Refreshinator costs $2.99 and Auto Reloader $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Auto Reloader holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Refreshinator has 33 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of Refreshinator's written reviews are positive against 11% of Auto Reloader's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Refreshinator ships an update every 3 days, Auto Reloader every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
