# Mineforge VR vs Meta Horizon

The clearest difference is rating: Meta Horizon at 4.5 against Mineforge VR's 3.7. Meta Horizon also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 12 months) and ratings volume (227K vs 1.5K). Mineforge VR's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mineforge VR sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Meta Horizon sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Meta Horizon holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.7.
