# Remio vs Tomaco

The clearest difference is rating: Tomaco at 5.0 against Remio's 4.8. Tomaco also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). Remio's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly) and ratings volume (27 vs 4). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Remio sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.99 per month and Tomaco sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tomaco holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Remio has 27 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

Remio ships an update every 3 days, Tomaco weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
