# VACOS vs Image Studio Pro

The clearest difference is rating: Image Studio Pro at 5.0 against VACOS's 1.2. Image Studio Pro also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). VACOS's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 9) and ratings volume (11 vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Image Studio Pro sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. VACOS asks for nothing beyond the download.

Image Studio Pro holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 1.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VACOS has 11 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

VACOS ships an update every 2 months, Image Studio Pro fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
