# OVID vs PREVO

The clearest difference is monetization model: PREVO at free with in-app purchases against OVID's subscription. PREVO also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). OVID's advantage is ratings volume (41 vs 6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. OVID sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and PREVO sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PREVO holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OVID has 41 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two.

OVID ships an update every 3 months, PREVO monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and September 16, 2026 respectively.
