# ResyOS vs The Craft IQ

The clearest difference is rating: The Craft IQ at 5.0 against ResyOS's 2.7. ResyOS's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and ratings volume (159 vs 4). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Craft IQ sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. ResyOS asks for nothing beyond the download.

The Craft IQ holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ResyOS has 159 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.

ResyOS ships an update fortnightly, The Craft IQ every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
