# NRTM vs RISK

The clearest difference is review sentiment: NRTM at 100% against RISK's 35%. NRTM also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.4 vs 15.0). RISK's advantage is ratings volume (188K vs 7) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. NRTM sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and RISK sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

RISK holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RISK has 188K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of NRTM's written reviews are positive against 35% of RISK's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

NRTM ships an update every 6 weeks, RISK monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
