Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Dour at free against RA Guide's free with in-app purchases. Dour also leads on review sentiment (69% vs 52%). RA Guide's advantage is ratings volume (8.1K vs 2) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Dour against 4.9 for RA Guide. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RA Guide has 8.1K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 69% of Dour's written reviews are positive against 52% of RA Guide's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Dour ships an update every 3 weeks, RA Guide weekly. The most recent releases landed on August 12, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
