# Faves vs Virtual Traffic Stop

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Virtual Traffic Stop at 100% against Faves's 42%. Virtual Traffic Stop also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 15). Faves's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (17K vs 2). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Faves sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Virtual Traffic Stop asks for nothing beyond the download.

Faves holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Faves has 17K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 42% of Faves's written reviews are positive against 100% of Virtual Traffic Stop's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Faves ships an update every 6 weeks, Virtual Traffic Stop every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and August 12, 2026 respectively.
