# DoD vs Re

The clearest difference is rating: Re at 4.7 against DoD's 4.3. Re also leads on review sentiment (82% vs 64%) and ratings volume (513 vs 47). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DoD sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Re sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Re holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Re has 513 ratings behind it against 47, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 64% of DoD's written reviews are positive against 82% of Re's.

DoD ships an update fortnightly, Re every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
