# Service Cost vs Re

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Service Cost at none against Re's 1. Service Cost also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Re's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 3 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Re sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Service Cost asks for nothing beyond the download.

Service Cost ships an update every 3 months, Re daily. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
