At Roast'd we are passionate about our coffee and want to share that with our customers. We hand- select our beans from different regions of the world and roast them in-house in small batches to bring out their best flavors. We brew our freshly roasted coffees in pour-over style, grinding the beans right before pouring hot water over the grinds to extract a fresh cup of coffee made to order. Add to that our espresso based drinks, coldbrew coffees and select pastries and you will have your perfect choice of a coffee drink.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Theory at 4.6 against Roast'd Coffee's 3.8. Theory also leads on ratings volume (912 vs 6) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 3 months). Roast'd Coffee's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Theory holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Theory has 912 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Roast'd Coffee's written reviews are positive against 18% of Theory's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Roast'd Coffee ships an update every 3 months, Theory every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
