Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Richard at 100% against Solvely's 71%. Solvely's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (43K vs 60). On price, update cadence, 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

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Solvely sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and Richard sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Solvely holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Solvely has 43K ratings behind it against 60, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Solvely's written reviews are positive against 100% of Richard's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
