# Rev vs Doc

The clearest difference is rating: Rev at 4.5 against Doc's 3.0. Rev also leads on ratings volume (4.3K vs 5) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). Doc's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Rev sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Doc asks for nothing beyond the download.

Rev holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rev has 4.3K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 53% of Rev's written reviews are positive against 33% of Doc's.

Rev ships an update every 3 weeks, Doc every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
