# Burner vs RDN

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: RDN at none against Burner's 10. RDN also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). Burner's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (94K vs 6). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Burner sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. RDN asks for nothing beyond the download.

Burner holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Burner has 94K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Burner ships an update every 2 weeks, RDN every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
