# R vs ASICSㅤ

The clearest difference is rating: R at 4.7 against ASICSㅤ's 2.7. R also leads on review sentiment (57% vs 23%) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 52). ASICSㅤ's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

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

R holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: R has 1.1K ratings behind it against 52, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 57% of R's written reviews are positive against 23% of ASICSㅤ's.

R ships an update fortnightly, ASICSㅤ every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
