# Chic vs 复古DV

The clearest difference is rating: 复古DV at 5.0 against Chic's 3.8. 复古DV also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 4 weeks). Chic's advantage is ratings volume (49 vs 1) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 13.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Chic sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and 复古DV sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

复古DV holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chic has 49 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Chic ships an update every 4 weeks, 复古DV weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
