# RSS vs Saturn

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Saturn at 100% against RSS's 50%. Saturn also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.0) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). RSS's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

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

Saturn holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1 and 2 respectively. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of RSS's written reviews are positive against 100% of Saturn's.

RSS ships an update every 2 weeks, Saturn every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
