# iVRy vs Hapticly

The clearest difference is rating: Hapticly at 4.7 against iVRy's 3.9. iVRy's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (150 vs 15). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iVRy sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Hapticly sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
