Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Redstone Guide at free with in-app purchases against Add's subscription. Redstone Guide also leads on review sentiment (66% vs 31%). Add's advantage is ratings volume (5.5K vs 1K). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Redstone Guide sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Add sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Add holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Add has 5.5K ratings behind it against 1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Redstone Guide's written reviews are positive against 31% of Add's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Redstone Guide ships an update every 2 weeks, Add every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
