# RF vs NetSuite

The clearest difference is rating: NetSuite at 2.7 against RF's 1.6. NetSuite also leads on ratings volume (98 vs 9). RF's advantage is review sentiment (25% vs 10%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 26.0). 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.

NetSuite holds the better App Store score, 2.7 against 1.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NetSuite has 98 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of RF's written reviews are positive against 10% of NetSuite's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

RF ships an update every 3 months, NetSuite every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 16, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
