# Richmond Official App vs Hockey Playoffs

The clearest difference is rating: Richmond Official App at 4.9 against Hockey Playoffs's 4.4. Richmond Official App also leads on ratings volume (163 vs 12). Hockey Playoffs's advantage is review sentiment (92% vs 79%) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

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

Richmond Official App holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Richmond Official App has 163 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Richmond Official App's written reviews are positive against 92% of Hockey Playoffs's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Richmond Official App ships an update every 6 weeks, Hockey Playoffs every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 9, 2026 and June 7, 2026 respectively.
