Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Mafteiach at none against Rav Gershon Ribner's shown. Mafteiach also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 28 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 80%). Rav Gershon Ribner's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.6) and ratings volume (369 vs 25). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Rav Gershon Ribner holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rav Gershon Ribner has 369 ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Mafteiach's written reviews are positive against 80% of Rav Gershon Ribner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Mafteiach ships an update monthly, Rav Gershon Ribner every 28 months. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
