Both are free to download. Barrel Roller sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Rails Run asks for nothing beyond the download.
Barrel Roller holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Barrel Roller has 76 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of Barrel Roller's written reviews are positive against 100% of Rails Run's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Barrel Roller ships an update every 4 weeks, Rails Run daily. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
