# Jayson vs RedeemKit

The clearest difference is update cadence: RedeemKit at every 3 days against Jayson's every 3 weeks. RedeemKit also leads on iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). Jayson's advantage is chart position (#90 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Jayson sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and RedeemKit sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Jayson ships an update every 3 weeks, RedeemKit every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
