# Mobile ID Verify vs ID

Mobile ID Verify and ID both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 50% of ID's written reviews are positive against 2% of Mobile ID Verify's. Mobile ID Verify's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 13 months) and ratings volume (247 vs 12). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
