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