# ResX vs Spot

The clearest difference is monetization model: ResX at free with in-app purchases against Spot's subscription. ResX also leads on ratings volume (609 vs 12) and chart position (#10 vs #51). Spot's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 73%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ResX sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month and Spot sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $15.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Spot 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 12, 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 Spot's.

ResX ships an update every 2 weeks, Spot every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
