# Rooted vs Oli

The clearest difference is ads: Rooted at none against Oli's shown. Rooted also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and device support (3 vs 1). Oli's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly) and ratings volume (128 vs 19). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Rooted sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Oli sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Rooted holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Oli has 128 ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Rooted ships an update weekly, Oli every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
