Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: RefreshMe at 3.4 against SEMA3's 3.1. RefreshMe also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
RefreshMe holds the better App Store score, 3.4 against 3.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 8 and 5 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of SEMA3's written reviews are positive against 38% of RefreshMe's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SEMA3 ships an update every 2 months, RefreshMe monthly. Both last shipped on November 2, 2026.
