Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ramblers at none against Ivy's 10. Ramblers also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Ivy's advantage is ratings volume (9.4K vs 9) and review sentiment (36% vs 13%). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Ivy sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Ramblers asks for nothing beyond the download.
Ramblers holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ivy has 9.4K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 13% of Ramblers's written reviews are positive against 36% of Ivy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Ramblers ships an update every 2 months, Ivy every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
