# Jackery vs RYOBI

The clearest difference is rating: RYOBI at 4.7 against Jackery's 2.4. RYOBI also leads on ratings volume (13K vs 208) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). Jackery's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

RYOBI holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RYOBI has 13K ratings behind it against 208, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 26% of Jackery's written reviews are positive against 30% of RYOBI's.

Jackery ships an update monthly, RYOBI every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
