# ResX vs Ramen NYC

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ramen NYC at none against ResX's 8. Ramen NYC also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 73%). ResX's advantage is ratings volume (764 vs 2) and chart position (#14 vs unranked). On price and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ResX sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Ramen NYC asks for nothing beyond the download.

Ramen NYC holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ResX has 764 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 73% of ResX's written reviews are positive against 100% of Ramen NYC's.

ResX ships an update every 2 weeks, Ramen NYC every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
