Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: iRadTech at 86% against iRadTech Lite's 25%. iRadTech also leads on ratings volume (53 vs 4) and update cadence (every 8 months vs every 21 months). iRadTech Lite's advantage is price (Free vs $24.99) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

iRadTech Lite holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iRadTech has 53 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of iRadTech's written reviews are positive against 25% of iRadTech Lite's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

iRadTech ships an update every 8 months, iRadTech Lite every 21 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 7, 2026 respectively.
