Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Liquid Apollo holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Liquid Apollo has 680 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Liquid Apollo's written reviews are positive against 100% of Reachy Mini's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Liquid Apollo ships an update every 8 days, Reachy Mini fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
