# ResX vs Lactoo

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Lactoo at none against ResX's 8. Lactoo also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). ResX's advantage is ratings volume (797 vs 3) and chart position (#12 vs unranked). On price, update cadence 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. Lactoo asks for nothing beyond the download.

Lactoo 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.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
