# iziCast vs Recrate

The clearest difference is price: Recrate at Free against iziCast's $12.99. Recrate also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). iziCast's advantage is ratings volume (175 vs 1). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Recrate is free to download; iziCast costs $12.99 up front. iziCast sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Recrate sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Recrate holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iziCast has 175 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

iziCast ships an update every 2 weeks, Recrate every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
