# NRTM vs Yu

The clearest difference is review sentiment: NRTM at 100% against Yu's 47%. NRTM also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.4 vs 15.0). Yu's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (88K vs 7). 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 Yu sells 21 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Yu holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Yu has 88K 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 47% of Yu'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, Yu every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
