# 99 Problems vs Roof Rails

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.

Both are free to download. Roof Rails sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. 99 Problems asks for nothing beyond the download.

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.

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.
