Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
iVe holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 11 and 7 respectively.

iVe ships an update every 6 weeks, BackTrace Mobile weekly. The most recent releases landed on June 5, 2026 and June 29, 2026 respectively.
