# Go vs Red E Charge

The clearest difference is rating: Go at 4.5 against Red E Charge's 2.6. Red E Charge's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Go holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Red E Charge has 81 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Go's written reviews are positive against 35% of Red E Charge's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Go ships an update every 2 months, Red E Charge every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
