# Re vs Dew

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Re at none against Dew's 3. Re also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18). Dew's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 32 months) and ratings volume (8 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dew sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Re asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Re against 5.0 for Dew. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dew has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Re ships an update every 32 months, Dew every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
