# Resy vs ResX

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Resy at none against ResX's 8. Resy also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (768K vs 609). ResX's advantage is review sentiment (73% vs 43%) and chart position (#10 vs #39). On price, rating, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ResX sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Resy asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Resy against 4.8 for ResX. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Resy has 768K ratings behind it against 609, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 43% of Resy's written reviews are positive against 73% of ResX's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
