Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Wemo at 4.0 against Redi Chek's 2.1. Wemo also leads on ratings volume (117K vs 18) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 7 months). Redi Chek's advantage is review sentiment (38% vs 7%) and iOS requirement (7.1 vs 13.0). 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.
Wemo holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wemo has 117K ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 7% of Wemo's written reviews are positive against 38% of Redi Chek's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Wemo ships an update every 2 months, Redi Chek every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and June 10, 2026 respectively.
