My Optimum also leads on ratings volume (90K vs 1.9K). rmResident's advantage is review sentiment (29% vs 10%) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
My Optimum holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My Optimum has 90K ratings behind it against 1.9K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of rmResident's written reviews are positive against 10% of My Optimum's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
