# U vs Rep

The clearest difference is ads: Rep at none against U's shown. U's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

U ships an update every 2 weeks, Rep every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
