Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Rewired at free with in-app purchases against Reset's subscription. Rewired also leads on ratings volume (1.4K vs 218) and review sentiment (45% vs 36%). Reset's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 9 days). On price, rating, 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. Rewired sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Reset sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Rewired holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rewired has 1.4K ratings behind it against 218, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 45% of Rewired's written reviews are positive against 36% of Reset's.
Rewired ships an update every 9 days, Reset every 3 days. Both last shipped on October 31, 2026.
