Verdict
RTM and Spotlit both sit at 5.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 99% of Spotlit's written reviews are positive against 27% of RTM's. Spotlit also leads on ratings volume (24 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
RTM holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spotlit has 24 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of RTM's written reviews are positive against 99% of Spotlit's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
RTM ships an update monthly, Spotlit every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
