# Revry vs The Explorers

The clearest difference is rating: The Explorers at 4.4 against Revry's 3.9. Revry's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Revry sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and The Explorers sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

The Explorers holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 61 and 86 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of Revry's written reviews are positive against 55% of The Explorers's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Revry ships an update monthly, The Explorers every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 5, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
