# RotoGO+ vs EffortValueTool

The clearest difference is rating: EffortValueTool at 5.0 against RotoGO+'s 4.6. RotoGO+'s advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (1.9K vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RotoGO+ sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and EffortValueTool sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

EffortValueTool holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RotoGO+ has 1.9K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of RotoGO+'s written reviews are positive against 67% of EffortValueTool's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

RotoGO+ ships an update every 9 days, EffortValueTool every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
