# DIY Theme Pack vs Retheme

The clearest difference is ads: DIY Theme Pack at none against Retheme's shown. DIY Theme Pack also leads on review sentiment (29% vs 17%). Retheme's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and chart position (#153 vs unranked). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DIY Theme Pack sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per 7 days and Retheme sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Retheme holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 523 and 1.3K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of DIY Theme Pack's written reviews are positive against 17% of Retheme's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

DIY Theme Pack ships an update every 3 weeks, Retheme every 11 days. Both last shipped on November 9, 2026.
