# R vs Coach Parry

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Coach Parry at 100% against R's 55%. Coach Parry also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). R's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 3.7) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. R sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Coach Parry asks for nothing beyond the download.

R holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: R has 1.1K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of R's written reviews are positive against 100% of Coach Parry's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

R ships an update fortnightly, Coach Parry every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
