# Gol vs RM Play

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.

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.
