Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 99 Problems at none against Roof Rails's 1. 99 Problems also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (74% vs 43%). Roof Rails's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (253K vs 38). On price, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Roof Rails holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Roof Rails has 253K ratings behind it against 38, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of 99 Problems's written reviews are positive against 43% of Roof Rails's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

99 Problems ships an update every 3 months, Roof Rails every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
