Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Engage Rewards at 4.8 against Raftr's 3.2. Engage Rewards also leads on ratings volume (900 vs 53) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 18.0). Raftr's advantage is review sentiment (55% vs 25%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Engage Rewards holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Engage Rewards has 900 ratings behind it against 53, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of Raftr's written reviews are positive against 25% of Engage Rewards's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Raftr ships an update every 10 days, Engage Rewards every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
