# Code vs RetroQix

The clearest difference is update cadence: RetroQix at every 3 days against Code's every 2 months. Code's advantage is iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Code ships an update every 2 months, RetroQix every 3 days. Both last shipped on September 29, 2026.
