# V380 Pro vs Ai258

The clearest difference is ratings volume: V380 Pro at 5.5K against Ai258's 4. V380 Pro also leads on review sentiment (34% vs 18%) and chart position (#115 vs unranked). Ai258's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 weeks). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. V380 Pro sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Ai258 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 3.9 for V380 Pro against 4.0 for Ai258. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: V380 Pro has 5.5K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 34% of V380 Pro's written reviews are positive against 18% of Ai258's.

V380 Pro ships an update every 4 weeks, Ai258 every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
