# Lysn vs VDONE

The clearest difference is ads: Lysn at none against VDONE's shown. Lysn also leads on review sentiment (31% vs 0%) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 3). VDONE's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lysn sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $4.49 per month and VDONE sells 15 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 — 2.8 for Lysn against 2.7 for VDONE. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lysn has 1.1K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 31% of Lysn's written reviews are positive against 0% of VDONE's.

Lysn ships an update every 3 weeks, VDONE every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
