# RE vs The Fast

The clearest difference is ratings volume: The Fast at 5 against RE's 1. The Fast also leads on iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

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

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for RE against 5.0 for The Fast. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Fast has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly daily. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
