Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Topup BTC at 4.5 against Router Utility's 2.5. Topup BTC also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 37). Router Utility's advantage is monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, review sentiment, 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.
Topup BTC holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Topup BTC has 1.3K ratings behind it against 37, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of Router Utility's written reviews are positive against 25% of Topup BTC's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Router Utility ships an update every 2 months, Topup BTC fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on June 8, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
