Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Pocket RFC at 4.5 against RFC View's 4.0. Pocket RFC also leads on update cadence (every 7 months vs every 13 months) and ratings volume (4 vs 1). RFC View's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and review sentiment (100% vs 67%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pocket RFC sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. RFC View asks for nothing beyond the download.
Pocket RFC holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 4 and 1 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Pocket RFC's written reviews are positive against 100% of RFC View's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Pocket RFC ships an update every 7 months, RFC View every 13 months. The most recent releases landed on September 8, 2026 and June 25, 2026 respectively.
