Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Gol at every 5 days against RM Play's every 2 months. Gol also leads on iOS requirement (12.4 vs 15.0). RM Play's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (298 vs 21). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases 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. Gol sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and RM Play sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $40.00 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
RM Play holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RM Play has 298 ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 64% of Gol's written reviews are positive against 67% of RM Play's.
Gol ships an update every 5 days, RM Play every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
