Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Rithmic Trader Pro™ at 4.4 against CQG's 3.4. Rithmic Trader Pro™ also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 38). 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.
Rithmic Trader Pro™ holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rithmic Trader Pro™ has 1.3K ratings behind it against 38, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of CQG's written reviews are positive against 39% of Rithmic Trader Pro™'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
CQG ships an update every 4 months, Rithmic Trader Pro™ every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
