# RedPill vs NextThree

The clearest difference is ads: NextThree at none against RedPill's shown. NextThree also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 5 days). RedPill's advantage is ratings volume (9 vs 1). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RedPill sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and NextThree sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for RedPill against 5.0 for NextThree. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RedPill has 9 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

RedPill ships an update every 5 days, NextThree daily. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
