Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Rechek at none against ResX's 8. Rechek also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 73%). ResX's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (609 vs 3). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ResX ships an update every 2 weeks, Rechek every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and July 18, 2026 respectively.
