# RequestIndy vs X

The clearest difference is rating: X at 2.9 against RequestIndy's 1.8. X also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 15 months). RequestIndy's advantage is review sentiment (23% vs 0%) and ratings volume (52 vs 17). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

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

X holds the better App Store score, 2.9 against 1.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 52 and 17 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 23% of RequestIndy's written reviews are positive against 0% of X's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

RequestIndy ships an update every 15 months, X weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
