# Tock vs ResX

Tock and ResX both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 73% of ResX's written reviews are positive against 25% of Tock's. ResX also leads on chart position (#10 vs #209) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 weeks). Tock's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and ads (none vs shown). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ResX sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Tock asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Tock against 4.8 for ResX. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tock has 9.7K ratings behind it against 609, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 25% of Tock's written reviews are positive against 73% of ResX's.

Tock ships an update every 4 weeks, ResX every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
