Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: NextSee at 5.0 against Rex's 4.4. Rex's advantage is ratings volume (32 vs 1). On price, update cadence, 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. Rex sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and NextSee sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
NextSee holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rex has 32 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Rex ships an update every 6 days, NextSee every 3 days. Both last shipped on November 10, 2026.
