# RTRT.me vs Tidal Labs

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: RTRT.me at none against Tidal Labs's 3. RTRT.me also leads on ratings volume (1.4K vs 1) and chart position (#207 vs unranked). Tidal Labs's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tidal Labs sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. RTRT.me asks for nothing beyond the download.

Tidal Labs holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RTRT.me has 1.4K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

RTRT.me ships an update every 2 months, Tidal Labs fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
