Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: RE.minder PRO+ at weekly against RPN's every 4 months. RE.minder PRO+ also leads on review sentiment (87% vs 68%) and ratings volume (70 vs 6). RPN's advantage is price ($2.99 vs $7.99) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support 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
RPN costs $2.99 and RE.minder PRO+ $7.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
RPN holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RE.minder PRO+ has 70 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of RPN's written reviews are positive against 87% of RE.minder PRO+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
RPN ships an update every 4 months, RE.minder PRO+ weekly. The most recent releases landed on June 1, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
