Comparison // Valorant Companion Apps RANKRR Operative · Tactical Tracker DAILYVAL Skin Browser · Social Companion
Two iOS apps for Valorant players. They overlap on the surface — both let you check your stats and look at your loadout — but the moment you open them you're using completely different products. Here is the honest, side-by-side breakdown of what each one actually does, what each one costs you, and which one you should install in 2026.

THE ONE-LINE ANSWER
- You want live stats on your teammates before the round starts
- You play on Android, or want a phone-first companion that travels with you
- You hate watch-to-unlock ads
- You care about hardware telemetry while you play
- Browsing and rating the full Valorant skin catalogue
- A daily social-pairing feature ("Daily Match")
- If you mostly want a skin catalogue and a daily social ping, DailyVal is the right tool — and you can run both apps on the same phone.

TRACKING
This is the single biggest functional gap. RankRR ships a Windows agent that pairs with your phone over a QR code, then watches your Valorant client through the Riot local API. The moment the agent-select screen loads, your phone already has the rank, K/D, headshot %, and last-three-matches summary for every player in the lobby.
DailyVal has no desktop client. Anything it shows about a match is fetched after the fact, from a public profile, and only for players you go and search for one at a time.
- ▸ Snapshot pushed to phone every 2 seconds
- ▸ SHA-256 deduplicated — no battery drain on idle
- ▸ Reads only the local Riot client; never injects into the game
- ▸ Survives the agent-select to round-1 buy phase, where seconds matter
- ▸ No desktop client
- ▸ Stats are post-match lookups via public profile pages
- ▸ Cannot see who is in your lobby until you alt-tab and type their name
THE FREE-TIER
AD EXPERIENCE
Both apps are free with optional premium tiers. What matters is what the free tier feels like.
RankRR shows banner ads on a couple of screens and one interstitial after a finished match — never inside a live match, never as a gate to use a feature. DailyVal ships AppLovin's full ad mediation kit, including rewarded-video ads: short videos you have to watch to unlock parts of the app. Both apps' premium tiers remove ads entirely.
- One interstitial after each finished match
- Banner ads on a few list screens
- No watch-to-unlock gates
- No ads inside the live match overlay
- Banner + interstitial ads
- Rewarded-video ads gating features (watch to unlock)
- AppLovin MAX mediation across multiple ad networks
WHERE EACH APP RUNS
~70% of mobile users in Valorant's biggest regions are on Android.
The PC client is what makes live in-match tracking possible.
FREQUENT QUERIES
Is RankRR a DailyVal alternative?
Yes — and a more focused one if your goal is tracking Valorant matches. DailyVal leans into a skin browser and a daily social pairing feature; RankRR is built around live in-match analytics, teammate reputation, and hardware telemetry. If you want a tracker, RankRR is the alternative. If you want a skin catalogue with social extras, DailyVal still has its niche.
Does RankRR work on Android? DailyVal does not.
RankRR ships on both iOS and Android. DailyVal is iOS-only as of 2026-05-07, which means roughly 70% of mobile players in Valorant's biggest regions cannot install it.
Can RankRR show stats during a live Valorant match?
Yes. The RankRR Windows agent reads the Riot local API the moment a lobby forms, pulls in each player's competitive stats, and pushes the snapshot to your phone every two seconds. You see your teammates' rank, K/D, headshot %, and agent proficiency before the round starts. DailyVal does not have a desktop client, so it cannot do this.
Does RankRR have ads?
Free RankRR shows one interstitial after a finished match and a banner on a few screens. No rewarded-video gates, no full-screen ads inside a live match, no ads to unlock features. DailyVal ships both interstitials and rewarded-video ads (watch-to-unlock). The premium tier removes ads in both apps.
Is RankRR safe to use? Will I get banned?
No. RankRR uses the same read-only Riot APIs that public trackers use. The Windows client never injects, hooks, or modifies the game — it observes the local Riot client over its built-in HTTPS interface, which is the same surface that the official Valorant tracker apps use.
Does either app cost money?
Both apps are free to download with optional premium tiers. RankRR premium is a small monthly fee that removes ads and unlocks deeper history. DailyVal sells a similar premium subscription.
How is RankRR different from desktop trackers?
Desktop trackers expect you to alt-tab between rounds to look players up. RankRR puts the same intel on your phone as a second screen, and a single Windows agent keeps it in sync with whatever lobby you are currently in. You stop juggling tabs and start playing.
