# REFORMA vs INE

The clearest difference is rating: REFORMA at 3.1 against INE's 2.3. REFORMA also leads on chart position (#81 vs unranked) and ratings volume (17 vs 3). INE's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and review sentiment (25% vs 16%). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. REFORMA sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. INE asks for nothing beyond the download.

REFORMA holds the better App Store score, 3.1 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: REFORMA has 17 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 16% of REFORMA's written reviews are positive against 25% of INE's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

REFORMA ships an update every 3 weeks, INE every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
