Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: RedirectWeb at free with in-app purchases against Record Crate's subscription. RedirectWeb also leads on ratings volume (74 vs 1). Record Crate's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). 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. RedirectWeb sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per year and Record Crate sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Record Crate holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RedirectWeb has 74 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
RedirectWeb ships an update fortnightly, Record Crate every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
