Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: TableWatch at none against ResX's shown. TableWatch also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). ResX's advantage is ratings volume (797 vs 2) and chart position (#14 vs #195). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. ResX sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month and TableWatch sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
TableWatch 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 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
ResX ships an update every 9 days, TableWatch weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
