# Ranker vs Ranking Maker

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ranker at none against Ranking Maker's 1. Ranker also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.9K vs 161). Ranking Maker's advantage is review sentiment (89% vs 60%). On price, rating, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Ranking Maker sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Ranker asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Ranker against 4.8 for Ranking Maker. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ranker has 1.9K ratings behind it against 161, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 60% of Ranker's written reviews are positive against 89% of Ranking Maker's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
