# Coupled vs R

The clearest difference is review sentiment: R at 100% against Coupled's 56%. R also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.0) and ads (none vs shown). Coupled's advantage is ratings volume (40 vs 4). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Coupled sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and R sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

R holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Coupled has 40 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 56% of Coupled's written reviews are positive against 100% of R's.

Coupled ships an update every 2 months, R every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
