# RM Play vs CourseForge

The clearest difference is ads: RM Play at none against CourseForge's shown. CourseForge's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RM Play sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $40.00 per year and CourseForge sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

RM Play ships an update every 2 months, CourseForge every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
