# ResX vs The Bites App

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The Bites App at none against ResX's 8. The Bites App also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 73%). ResX's advantage is ratings volume (609 vs 11) and chart position (#12 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

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

The Bites App holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ResX has 609 ratings behind it against 11, 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 The Bites App's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
