Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: RYOBI at 4.7 against Novo XT2's 2.6. RYOBI also leads on ratings volume (13K vs 10) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 3 months). Novo XT2's advantage is iOS requirement (8.0 vs 16.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

RYOBI holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RYOBI has 13K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of Novo XT2's written reviews are positive against 30% of RYOBI's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Novo XT2 ships an update every 3 months, RYOBI every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
