Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: ClickFree at 4.1 against Rio Router's 3.1. ClickFree also leads on ratings volume (1.8K vs 10) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). Rio Router's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and review sentiment (57% vs 26%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ClickFree holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ClickFree has 1.8K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 26% of ClickFree's written reviews are positive against 57% of Rio Router's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ClickFree ships an update every 2 months, Rio Router every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
