Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Red Tomatoes at none against Strive's 14. Red Tomatoes also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 71%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Strive's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (3.1K vs 18). On price, rating, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Strive sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Red Tomatoes asks for nothing beyond the download.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Strive against 4.7 for Red Tomatoes. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Strive has 3.1K ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 71% of Strive's written reviews are positive against 100% of Red Tomatoes's.
Strive ships an update every 8 days, Red Tomatoes fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
