# 荔枝 vs NowRepeater

The clearest difference is review sentiment: NowRepeater at 97% against 荔枝's 52%. NowRepeater also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks). 荔枝's advantage is ratings volume (889 vs 88). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 荔枝 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and NowRepeater sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

NowRepeater holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 荔枝 has 889 ratings behind it against 88, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 52% of 荔枝's written reviews are positive against 97% of NowRepeater's.

荔枝 ships an update every 3 weeks, NowRepeater every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
