# Performance Check vs RPG Companion App

The clearest difference is ads: Performance Check at none against RPG Companion App's shown. Performance Check also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 72%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). RPG Companion App's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and update cadence (every 11 days vs monthly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Performance Check sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and RPG Companion App sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

RPG Companion App holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RPG Companion App has 256 ratings behind it against 29, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Performance Check's written reviews are positive against 72% of RPG Companion App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Performance Check ships an update monthly, RPG Companion App every 11 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
