Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ResX at 4.8 against Guavo's 4.2. ResX also leads on ratings volume (609 vs 19) and chart position (#13 vs unranked). Guavo's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. ResX sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Guavo asks for nothing beyond the download.
ResX holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ResX has 609 ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of ResX's written reviews are positive against 100% of Guavo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
