# RTMHub vs PaperVN

The clearest difference is review sentiment: PaperVN at 100% against RTMHub's 30%. PaperVN also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.3). RTMHub's advantage is ratings volume (24 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RTMHub sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and PaperVN sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $0.59 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PaperVN holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RTMHub has 24 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 30% of RTMHub's written reviews are positive against 100% of PaperVN's.

RTMHub ships an update every 4 days, PaperVN weekly. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
