# xWind vs Rerouted+

The clearest difference is price: Rerouted+ at Free against xWind's $0.99. xWind's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ratings volume (550 vs 7). On rating, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Rerouted+ is free to download; xWind costs $0.99 up front. Rerouted+ sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. xWind asks for nothing beyond the download.

xWind holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: xWind has 550 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of xWind's written reviews are positive against 80% of Rerouted+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

xWind ships an update fortnightly, Rerouted+ every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
