# RFS vs F

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: F at none against RFS's 10. RFS's advantage is ratings volume (24K vs 540) and price ($0.99 vs $4.99). On rating, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

RFS costs $0.99 and F $4.99 up front. RFS sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. F asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for RFS against 4.6 for F. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RFS has 24K ratings behind it against 540, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 74% of RFS's written reviews are positive against 63% of F's.

RFS ships an update every 3 weeks, F every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
