# ResX vs Nectar

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Nectar at none against ResX's 8. Nectar also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 73%). ResX's advantage is ratings volume (797 vs 3) and chart position (#12 vs unranked). On price 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. Nectar asks for nothing beyond the download.

Nectar holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ResX has 797 ratings behind it against 3, 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 Nectar's.

ResX ships an update every 9 days, Nectar every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
