Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: RealVoteNow at none against Locals.com's 12. RealVoteNow also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 4 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Locals.com's advantage is ratings volume (42K vs 2) and chart position (#134 vs unranked). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Locals.com sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. RealVoteNow asks for nothing beyond the download.
RealVoteNow holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Locals.com has 42K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Locals.com ships an update every 4 weeks, RealVoteNow every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
