# Vaia vs Solvely

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Solvely at 40K against Vaia's 1.5K. Solvely also leads on chart position (#39 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Vaia's advantage is review sentiment (82% vs 72%). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Vaia sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Solvely sells 28 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Vaia against 4.8 for Solvely. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Solvely has 40K ratings behind it against 1.5K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 82% of Vaia's written reviews are positive against 72% of Solvely's.

Vaia ships an update weekly, Solvely every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
