Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: R2V at 4.6 against V2EX's 4.0. R2V also leads on update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 2 months). V2EX's advantage is review sentiment (79% vs 60%) and ratings volume (28 vs 9). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
R2V holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 28 and 9 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of V2EX's written reviews are positive against 60% of R2V's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
V2EX ships an update every 2 months, R2V every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 5, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
