# iStar vs SUUVO

The clearest difference is rating: SUUVO at 5.0 against iStar's 3.6. SUUVO also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). iStar's advantage is ratings volume (58 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.6). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iStar sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and SUUVO sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SUUVO holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iStar has 58 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

iStar ships an update monthly, SUUVO every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
