# ResX vs Happily.

The clearest difference is ads: Happily. at none against ResX's shown. Happily. also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 73%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). ResX's advantage is ratings volume (609 vs 12) and chart position (#12 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ResX sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month and Happily. sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Happily. 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 Happily.'s.

ResX ships an update every 2 weeks, Happily. every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
