# VOEZ vs Protocol

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Protocol at none against VOEZ's 8. Protocol also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (79% vs 68%). VOEZ's advantage is ratings volume (1.5K vs 53). On price, rating, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. VOEZ sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Protocol asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.3 for VOEZ against 4.2 for Protocol. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VOEZ has 1.5K ratings behind it against 53, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 68% of VOEZ's written reviews are positive against 79% of Protocol's.

VOEZ ships an update every 4 months, Protocol every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
