Verdict
Akia and Virdee both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 67% of Akia's written reviews are positive against 20% of Virdee's. Akia also leads on iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). Virdee's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (144 vs 23). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Virdee holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Virdee has 144 ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Akia's written reviews are positive against 20% of Virdee's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Akia ships an update every 2 months, Virdee monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
