Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Open’er ‘26 at free against RA Guide's free with in-app purchases. RA Guide's advantage is ratings volume (8.2K vs 3) and update cadence (every 11 days vs every 5 weeks). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

RA Guide holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RA Guide has 8.2K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Open’er ‘26's written reviews are positive against 52% of RA Guide's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Open’er ‘26 ships an update every 5 weeks, RA Guide every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
