# Frankenstein vs RADIX

The clearest difference is rating: RADIX at 5.0 against Frankenstein's 3.9. RADIX also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks) and review sentiment (100% vs 78%). Frankenstein's advantage is chart position (#82 vs unranked) and ratings volume (32 vs 6). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Frankenstein costs $3.99 and RADIX $4.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

RADIX holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Frankenstein has 32 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 78% of Frankenstein's written reviews are positive against 100% of RADIX's.

Frankenstein ships an update every 3 weeks, RADIX every 3 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
