Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Radio Code at 4.2 against Radio Code Master's 3.3. Radio Code also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). Radio Code Master's advantage is review sentiment (91% vs 68%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Radio Code Master sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Radio Code sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Radio Code holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Radio Code has 24 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of Radio Code Master's written reviews are positive against 68% of Radio Code's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Radio Code Master ships an update every 5 weeks, Radio Code fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
