Verdict
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.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
iRadTech Lite is free to download; iRadTech costs $24.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
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.
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.
