What is RAPT? RAPT is Really Awesome Product Technology. RAPT is a brand new method for total fermentation control. RAPT is internet enabled. RAPT uses the Internet of Things (IoT) to enable real time logging, real time access and real time control. This technology allows for seamless integration of all of your RAPT enabled products, controllable and accessible from any of your devices. The RAPT App allows simple, seamless, integrated control over every one of your RAPT enabled devices, no matter where you are or what you are doing. RAPT is perfect for any and all your fermentation needs – beer making, wine, salami, kimchi – almost anything where temperature and/or pressure control is an important part of the process. We asked ourselves what people really wanted from a fermentation chamber. What would you design if you were starting from scratch? A ground up rework, if you will. And RAPT was the result. The RAPT Fermentation Chamber and the RAPT Pill are the first steps towards seamless integration, and the RAPT App is the easiest way to control everything.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: MyNextbase Connect at 4.0 against RAPT's 1.6. MyNextbase Connect also leads on ratings volume (852 vs 20) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months). RAPT's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (13.2 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MyNextbase Connect holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 1.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MyNextbase Connect has 852 ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 10% of MyNextbase Connect's written reviews are positive against 15% of RAPT's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MyNextbase Connect ships an update every 2 months, RAPT every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
