Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Riffio at free with in-app purchases against BRAVE+'s subscription. Riffio also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). BRAVE+'s advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (460 vs 59). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Riffio sells 20 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and BRAVE+ sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
BRAVE+ holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BRAVE+ has 460 ratings behind it against 59, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 56% of Riffio's written reviews are positive against 58% of BRAVE+'s.
Riffio ships an update fortnightly, BRAVE+ monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
