# F vs RCS

The clearest difference is rating: F at 4.6 against RCS's 4.1. F also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ratings volume (534 vs 94). RCS's advantage is price ($0.99 vs $4.99) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On ads, chart position, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

F costs $4.99 and RCS $0.99 up front. RCS sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. F asks for nothing beyond the download.

F holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: F has 534 ratings behind it against 94, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 63% of F's written reviews are positive against 53% of RCS's.

F ships an update every 2 months, RCS every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
