# Multi vs Refast

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Refast at none against Multi's 4. Refast also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly). Multi's advantage is ratings volume (105 vs 1). On price, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Multi sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Refast asks for nothing beyond the download.

Refast holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Multi has 105 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 86% of Multi's written reviews are positive against 100% of Refast's.

Multi ships an update monthly, Refast every 9 days. Both last shipped on October 18, 2026.
