# viProject vs Deadliner

The clearest difference is rating: viProject at 4.3 against Deadliner's 3.0. viProject also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (307 vs 2). Deadliner's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. viProject sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $7.49 per month and Deadliner sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

viProject holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: viProject has 307 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 37% of viProject's written reviews are positive against 29% of Deadliner's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
