# Privi vs Typhos

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Privi at 6 against Typhos's 1. Privi also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Privi sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Typhos sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Privi against 5.0 for Typhos. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Privi has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Privi ships an update monthly, Typhos every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and July 5, 2026 respectively.
