# Riyaz vs Virtual Voice Coach

Riyaz and Virtual Voice Coach both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 95% of Virtual Voice Coach's written reviews are positive against 45% of Riyaz's. Riyaz's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (343 vs 8). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Riyaz sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $24.49 per month and Virtual Voice Coach sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 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 — 4.4 for Riyaz against 4.5 for Virtual Voice Coach. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Riyaz has 343 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 45% of Riyaz's written reviews are positive against 95% of Virtual Voice Coach's.

Riyaz ships an update fortnightly, Virtual Voice Coach every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
