Verdict
The clearest difference is price: RTM WIN at Free against Grid Ranger's $2.99. RTM WIN also leads on rating (4.1 vs 3.5) and ratings volume (17 vs 2). Grid Ranger's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and review sentiment (67% vs 33%). On update cadence, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

RTM WIN is free to download; Grid Ranger costs $2.99 up front. RTM WIN sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Grid Ranger asks for nothing beyond the download.
RTM WIN holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RTM WIN has 17 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Grid Ranger's written reviews are positive against 33% of RTM WIN's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Grid Ranger ships an update weekly, RTM WIN every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 12, 2026 respectively.
