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.
Refoss holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Refoss has 142 ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Refoss's written reviews are positive against 93% of DESLOC's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Refoss ships an update every 5 weeks, DESLOC every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
