recteq holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: recteq has 25K ratings behind it against 186, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 31% of recteq's written reviews are positive against 58% of GMG Prime App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
recteq ships an update every 5 weeks, GMG Prime App every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
