Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Repegs at 4.6 against Newburyport's 3.7. Repegs also leads on ratings volume (42 vs 7). Newburyport's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Repegs holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Repegs has 42 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Newburyport's written reviews are positive against 93% of Repegs's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Newburyport ships an update every 3 months, Repegs every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
