# Matsuya vs ResX

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Matsuya at none against ResX's 8. Matsuya also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). ResX's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 11 months) and chart position (#12 vs unranked). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ResX sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Matsuya asks for nothing beyond the download.

Matsuya ships an update every 11 months, ResX every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
