Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: RxLocal at 4.7 against MARLÖ's 4.3. RxLocal also leads on ratings volume (71K vs 156) and chart position (#64 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads 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
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
RxLocal holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RxLocal has 71K ratings behind it against 156, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 28% of RxLocal's written reviews are positive against 31% of MARLÖ's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
RxLocal ships an update every 5 weeks, MARLÖ every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
