# Croissant vs Rivalr

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Rivalr at 100% against Croissant's 63%. Rivalr also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.5). Croissant's advantage is ratings volume (200 vs 2) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Croissant sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Rivalr sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Rivalr holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Croissant has 200 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 63% of Croissant's written reviews are positive against 100% of Rivalr's.

Croissant ships an update fortnightly, Rivalr monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
